Thanks very much everyone, I realise there is a label but there were also a couple of other labels there too so just wanted to be sure as I am a novice gardener. I think rose hips are ok for dogs if not consumed in a large quantity to will obviosuly be careful. Thanks again.
Rose hips are a good source of Vitamin C so that's possibly why the dog was eating them. However when making rose hip syrup you do have to remove the seeds as they are an irritant. I believe they used to be dried and ground up to make itching powder so be careful.
Whatever the reason, the dog was not eating them for the vitamin C as dogs and most other animals make their own and do not need it in their diet. Primates and guinea pigs are among the few exceptions, we have a genetic mutation which prevents us from making it.
