    Apricots?

     Are dried apricots okay for dogs?

    Yep -- they sure are -- good source of magnesium.  It's better when they aren't preserved with sulfites ... but ... yeah, Billy loves them. (and dates, and prunes, and figs and sticky fruits generally)

     They're organic turkish apricots from Trader Joes.

    A couple of apricots, figs and prunes a week are known to keep the anal glands clean. I have been using them on my foxhound for a couple of months and it works great. Just dont over do because you will have loose stools

     I figured that prunes and apricots probably have the same effect on dogs, just like humans. So they are given in moderation. She gets one apricot 3x a week and the occassional prune, which she adores.
