Additionally, cantaloupes are great for dogs who are on a diet because they are low in calories and high in water content. This means your dog can rehydrate a lot without gaining more pounds. Because of the high water and fiber content, cantaloupes also help promote healthy digestion for dogs and prevent dehydration.
