Can my dog eat Gherkins? 
Gherkins, or sweet pickles, are a favorite staple in many kitchens. Did you know they can be a healthy treat? This is because they’re low in fat and calories, and contain Vitamin A, folate, calcium and iron. Some people enjoy pickles sliced and added to their sandwiches and hamburgers, while others prefer to eat them plain.
Can my dog eat gherkins? Yes, but with some caution. Be sure to only serve him the sweet variety, and only those that have been prepared using no spices, onions, etc. Some of these ingredients are toxic to dogs and could your pup very sick. Not only that, but gherkins are usually produced with large amounts of sodium, which both dogs and their humans need to avoid. So, it’s recommended that you only serve these to your dog occasionally and only in small amounts. Can my puppy eat gherkins? Yes, but again, only once in a while and in small servings. What if my dog or puppy ate a large amount of gherkins? This could lead to vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. If your dog or puppy shows signs of severe digestive trouble, then be sure to call your vet as soon as possible.

Looks like most of the human foods that dogs eat are all to be served with some caution. I don’t really feed my dog what I eat but most times I just think she’ll enjoy it judging from the way she looks at it when it’s served. I’ll try to add some of our safe foods to her meals and hopefully she doesn’t react to it.
Oh how come I never knew that gherkins are usually produced with large amounts of sodium? It is not all that healthy if you ask me. It’s best if I and my dogs just stay away from it entirely.
