It is not recommended to give pomegranates to dogs. Pomegranates contain tannins, which are compounds found in pomegranate juice and fruit. It is toxic and can have harmful effects on your dog. Specific risks include:

Digestive effects: Tannins can irritate your dog's digestive system and cause vomiting and diarrhea. It can also cause indigestion.

Effects on the liver: The ingredients in pomegranates can damage your dog's liver and can cause liver toxicity.

Effects on the heart: The compounds in pomegranates can affect the heart, increasing the risk of irregular heartbeats and heart attacks.

Additionally, pomegranate seeds contain hydrogen cyanide, which is also harmful to dogs. It's important to avoid feeding pomegranates and provide your dog with safe treats and food, as well as 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.
