Is Cucumber Good for Beagles?

How to Serve a Beagle Cucumber
When serving cucumber to your beagle, it’s important to wash it thoroughly and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces that are easy for your beagle to eat.
Cut them up nice and small into either chunks or slice to avoid any possible choking.
It’s also a good idea to avoid overfeeding them, cucumber should be given as a treat and not make up more than 10% of their daily caloric intake.
Additionally, you can also peel the cucumber, since the skin can be difficult for dogs to digest.
It’s also a good idea to consult with your veterinarian about the best way to serve cucumber to your dog, especially if they have any specific health conditions.
