Can my dog eat loquat?لوکاٹ
A little.
Only the ripe flesh, peeled and with every seed out. Lokat seeds are a choking and blockage risk and contain cyanide-forming compounds.
Thinking of giving it?
How much is fineA piece or two of seedless flesh, occasionally.
WhyThe large, slippery seeds can lodge in the throat or bowel, and when chewed they release cyanide. The leaves carry the same compounds. A dropped fruit swallowed whole is the usual way it happens.
Already ate it?
If they ate itIf they swallowed seeds or a whole fruit, call your vet — especially a small dog, or if the seeds were chewed. Don't make them vomit unless a vet tells you to.
Watch forGagging or retching; vomiting, refusing food or straining over the next one to two days. After many chewed seeds: fast breathing, bright red gums or collapse within hours.
Where this comes from. Knight & Walter, Guide to Poisonous House and Garden Plants (IVIS): Eriobotrya japonica (loquat).
