Can Dogs Eat Limes?

No, it is not recommended to feed limes to dogs. Limes, like lemons, are highly acidic and can cause digestive upset and discomfort in dogs. The high citric acid content in limes can irritate their stomach and potentially lead to vomiting, diarrhea, or gastrointestinal issues.

Furthermore, limes contain compounds called psoralens, which are toxic to dogs. Psoralens can cause photosensitivity, dermatitis, and other skin-related problems in dogs if they come into contact with the skin or are ingested.

It's important to keep limes and other citrus fruits out of your dog's reach to prevent accidental consumption. If your dog accidentally consumes a small amount of lime, it is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, intentionally feeding limes or allowing your dog to consume large quantities can be problematic.

If you suspect your dog has ingested limes or is experiencing any symptoms after consuming limes, it is best to consult with your veterinarian for appropriate advice and guidance.
