Here’s what AI says.
Yes, blackberries are safe for dogs in moderation. They are low in calories, high in vitamins and nutrients, and have antioxidants that benefit your dog’s health. However, too many blackberries can cause stomach upset, so feed your dog only a small amount of this treat. If your dog experiences any digestive upset like vomiting, diarrhea, or gas after eating blackberries, contact your veterinarian. Blackberries also contain naturally occurring xylitol in trace amounts, as do other vegetables and fruits. Although xylitol can be deadly for dogs, it’s considered safe given the minute amount in the small serving your dog eats. Your dog would have to eat huge amounts of berries to experience poisoning. But should your dog have any of the following reactions, call your vet immediately:
- Excessive vomiting
- Seizures
- Weakness or loss of coordination
- Collapse
- Excessive diarrhea
- Blood in vomit or stool
Remember to wash the fruit before feeding it to your dog, even if fresh-picked in your backyard. Avoid frozen berries, which usually have added sugar or xylitol. You can feed berries whole, diced, mashed, or even pureed, depending on your dog’s preference and size. Dogs can eat wild blackberries too, as long as you’re sure they are blackberries. While there are no known poisonous plants that resemble blackberries, it’s best to avoid taking chances.

From a lot of experience with my dog eating whatever she could find and having to go to the vet to induce vomiting and such,
I learned there’s a difference between “poison” and “toxic”.
The internet seems to have a hard time with that concept.
Most things they say are poison are actually toxic.
Not saying that doesn’t need treatment,
But googling pet stuff is a crapshoot.

Yeah according to most sites on the internet, blackberries in moderation is safe for dogs.
I’m pretty sure that blueberries would be an even safer option for your doggies @Kxev

Probably safer for a dog to eat a Blackberry than a Nokia. Nokias can take a hit from a nuke without a scratch.
