Can dogs eat watermellon?

Winnie is vomiting yellow foam.
She had watermellon yesterday, but then again she also had 3 doggie cookies, a greenie, and some food. Did she just eat too much different stuff?

As far as I know, it's totally fine! My dogs eat a ton of fruits and vegetables (including watermelon) with no problems.

Yellow foam is usually from not eating, not eating too much. that's how it is with Uni anyway.

Watermelon is fine, but I don't give greenies. Also what kind of cookies? 3 seems to be a bit much.

They are homemade dog cookies. Small size but prob too much. She also swallows her kibble. I need to find something bigger and she is really teething right now. Could this be it?

I'm just guessing it's just too much food all at once. For my Uni, usually yellow foam is from not eating. If she's still doing it, I would call the vet. Also, greenies say not to give to dogs under 6 months or 5 lbs. That could have been it.

My Rosie was vomiting yellow foam every time she had any kind of "table food." I ended up having to take her to the vet because she become very ill from all the vomiting. Come to find out she has a sensitive stomach and has to have prescription dog food. I would guess it is one of the things your dog ate or how it affected the stomach. Just guessing!

Yes, greasy or fatty people food is not good for these little ones. Esp if they have pancreatitis (which Uni just got over a mild case of it, not fun). People food is ok, but just the healthy stuff, fruits and veggies. A little non fat yogurt or cottage cheese is fine too. No steak, hot dog, cold cuts, ribs, stuff like that.

Is she still vomiting at all?
Yellow bile can indicate an empty stomach, but I'm just a bit concerned because she had a Greenie. Any straining/pooping okay?

I'd blame it on the greenie! Nasty things. Hope she's better now.
