Can I give persimmons to my Norfolk Terrier?
ChatGPT
Be careful when feeding persimmons to Norfolk Terriers and other dog breeds. Persimmons contain proteolytic enzymes that can harm your dog’s digestive system if eaten. Persimmon seeds also contain cyanide, which is known to be harmful to dogs.
Persimmon seeds, skin, and stems should especially be avoided. However, although a small amount of persimmon fruit itself is usually not a problem, it can be difficult to digest or cause diarrhea. If you are feeding persimmons, we recommend removing the seeds and skin and starting with a small amount to see how it goes.
However, for your dog’s health and safety, it is best to avoid giving them persimmons. Instead, we recommend providing appropriate meals and treats designed for dogs. We recommend that you consult your veterinarian for information about the right diet for your dog.
