Can my dog eat Lemon? Not safe for dogs to eat

Check Price on Amazon

 

Most of us are familiar with lemons. These sunny yellow citrus fruits have a very sour taste, that some people just love! They’re full of Vitamin C, folate and more. Lemons and their juice, and even the peel (dried and called zest), are used to flavor foods of all kinds—from stir fries to baked goods, such as lemon pie and more.

Can my dog eat lemon? No, you should not feed lemons to your dog. Can my puppy eat lemons? No, puppies should never eat lemons. Lemons contain certain compounds, such as psoralen and limonene, that are toxic to dogs. Small amounts will not hurt your dog; however, if he accidentally eats lemons or drinks their juice, he could develop gastrointestinal problems or even develop lemon poisoning. What if my dog ate lemons? There’s a high probability he’d become very sick. If you suspect your pet has eaten lemons or have some lemon juice, it’s a good idea to call your vet as soon as possible.

Ooh I love lemons so much, I include them in almost all meals. I thought I could introduce my puppy to it. I would have just been putting her in danger without me even knowing it. Thank you so much for this piece. You are a lifesaver!

Small amounts or not, let’s try to avoid giving lemons in any form to our dogs. Even if you think it won’t affect your dog because of one reason or the other, you will be surprised how it will affect the dog even in ways you least expected. So, better keep them away from your dogs.

And my dog accidentally ate some foods my daughter had squeezed lemon juice on. I don’t think he developed any gastrointestinal problems but I’m not sure about the lemon poisoning.

In order for your dog to not become very sick since you’re sure he tasted the lemon juice, I will recommend that you call your vet as soon as possible so they can have him checked.
