Good news: generally safe

This item is considered safe for most pets in sensible amounts. Every pet is different, so introduce new foods slowly and in moderation.

Signs to watch for

  • Well tolerated
  • Constipation or weight gain if overfed
  • Blockage risk only from swallowed peel

What to do

No action needed for a few slices. If a whole peel was swallowed, monitor appetite and stool and call us if either changes.

Macau note

Safe in moderation as a sweet treat. The peel is not toxic but does not digest well.
