Can dogs eat persimmons?

Dogs can eat persimmons, but it’s best not to eat too much. Persimmons are rich in vitamin C, but these fruit-based vitamins are not well absorbed by dogs themselves. Persimmons contain alkaloids and atropine, which may be dangerous if consumed in large amounts, such as causing diarrhea in dogs.

Tip:

The seeds of persimmon must be removed, otherwise it will easily cause intestinal blockage, so the owner should pay more attention.
