CarefulCats
CarefulNot a good snack: seeds and peel upset the stomach.
Not toxic, but the seeds and tannin-rich peel commonly cause vomiting. There are better fruits.
What to watch for
Vomiting, belly pain.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
