Can dogs eat pomegranate fruit?

Dogs are not allowed to eat pomegranate fruit. First of all, the seeds in the pomegranate fruit contain cyanide, which can cause poisoning if the dog eats too much. Secondly, the small particles of the pomegranate fruit may cause gastrointestinal obstruction in dogs. So we don’t feed them pomegranate fruits. You can choose other fruits such as apples for your dog to eat.

Tip:

Dogs’ demand for fruits is not as high as that of us humans. They usually eat dog food and occasionally eat some dog snacks.
