Can I give lemon to my dog?

ChatGPT

Lemon is one of the least suitable foods for dogs. Lemons contain acids, typical of citrus fruits, which can be irritating to your dog's stomach. Lemons also contain a substance called limonene, which is known to be harmful to dogs.

Additionally, lemon peel contains higher concentrations of limonene, and eating the peel should be specifically avoided.

Therefore, we do not recommend giving lemons to dogs. Citrus fruits, including lemons, are considered unsafe for dogs as they can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion. When offering treats to your dog, consider safe options like apples and blueberries. Also, if you have specific questions about your dog's diet, it's best to consult your veterinarian.
