Rockmelon, also known as cantaloupe or muskmelon, is a small round melon. It’s popular fruit in the U.S. and Europe. Inside, the rockmelon has a yellow/orange “meat,” which tastes somewhat sweet. These sweet melons are healthy and packed with nutrition, including vitamins A, B6, C & K, calcium, folate, magnesium and more. They’re also high in antioxidants that work to fight free radicals in the body, which protect against cancer and other diseases. Cantaloupe also has anti-inflammatory properties to help with inflammation caused by arthritis and other conditions.

I am so happy to find out other options for my dog. I am always on the lookout for varieties and rock melon might just be that option. Rock melon seems healthy too.
My dog enjoys cantaloupe but I don’t give her that often because of the stress in making sure the seeds are removed before giving her. I have known that the seeds aren’t good for her from a long time ago.
Has your dog ever developed any health issues from eating rockmelon? Or should I ask how often do you give her the fruit?
I am definitely going to be buying some rock melon for my puppy. I used to be scared of the sugar content of the fruit but now that I have been assured my dog can eat it, even though it is not going to be as frequent as I would like, I’m definitely letting the little cutie enjoy it too.
