Vets recommend keeping all treats under 10% of daily calories. One kiwi slice (1/6 of a kiwi) has about 7 kcal. The chart shows the most a typical spayed or neutered adult dog could have in a day if kiwi were the only treat.
| Dog weight | Daily treat budget | Max kiwi per day |
|---|---|---|
| 10 lb (4.5 kg) | 35 kcal | 4.5 × kiwi slice (1/6 of a kiwi) |
| 20 lb (9.1 kg) | 59 kcal | 8 × kiwi slice (1/6 of a kiwi) |
| 40 lb (18.1 kg) | 98 kcal | 14 × kiwi slice (1/6 of a kiwi) |
| 60 lb (27.2 kg) | 133 kcal | 19 × kiwi slice (1/6 of a kiwi) |
| 80 lb (36.3 kg) | 166 kcal | 23 × kiwi slice (1/6 of a kiwi) |
Eating more than the recommended amount usually causes nothing worse than an upset stomach: soft stool, gas or vomiting. Skip treats for the rest of the day, keep fresh water available and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than 24 hours or your dog seems unwell.
