Quince is generally a safe fruit for dogs, but caution should be taken. Quince is rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious treat for dogs. However, please keep in mind the following:

Adhere to the appropriate amount: When giving quince to your dog, be sure to administer the appropriate amount. Start with a few pieces depending on the size of your dog and adjust accordingly.

Choose fresh: Choose fresh, mature quince and make sure it’s not spoiled. Rotten quince can cause indigestion.

Remove the seeds: Quince contains hard seeds, so be sure to remove them before feeding them to your dog.

Beware of allergies: Dogs can have allergic reactions to new foods, so be careful when giving quince for the first time. Start with a small amount and watch your dog’s reaction.

Be careful with quince skin: The quince skin can be tough, so be careful not to let your dog choke on it. There is usually no problem with soft-skinned quince, but we recommend cutting quince with hard skin before feeding.

Even when giving quince, it can be a safe treat for dogs if given properly. It is important to avoid overfeeding, consider treats containing quince as part of your dog’s overall diet, and provide a balanced diet. We also recommend adjusting your dog’s diet to suit his health and seeking advice from your veterinarian to ensure he gets the nutrition he needs.
