Precautions

Dogs don't chew seeds or nucleus, and their stomachs can't digest them, so there is no difference between a litchi nucleus and a small pebbles in the dog's stomach. In addition to being undigested, some fruits (such as pomegranates, peaches, and plums) contain seeds or cores that contain toxic substances, and dogs may cause poisoning after consumption.

2. Refrigerated fruit can't be fed directly. The fruit that has just been taken out of the refrigerator must be put into the ice to be used by the dog. Otherwise, the dog's stomach will be stimulated because the temperature is too low, and it is easy to diarrhea.

3. Fruit is actually not particularly beneficial for dogs. As a carnivore, dogs can convert the meat that is eaten into the body into vitamin C. It does not need to be supplemented by eating fruits. If the vitamin C is excessive, it will cause urinary stones. But when the dog is constipated and the appetite is not good, you can feed some fruits to enhance the gastrointestinal function.
