Vets recommend keeping all treats under 10% of daily calories. One 1-inch mango cube has about 10 kcal. The chart shows the most a typical spayed or neutered adult dog could have in a day if mango were the only treat.
| Dog weight | Daily treat budget | Max mango per day |
|---|---|---|
| 10 lb (4.5 kg) | 35 kcal | 3 × 1-inch mango cube |
| 20 lb (9.1 kg) | 59 kcal | 5.5 × 1-inch mango cube |
| 40 lb (18.1 kg) | 98 kcal | 9.5 × 1-inch mango cube |
| 60 lb (27.2 kg) | 133 kcal | 13 × 1-inch mango cube |
| 80 lb (36.3 kg) | 166 kcal | 16 × 1-inch mango cube |
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.
