  • Not a substitute for professional veterinary help.

No. For one thing, dogs don’t enjoy the taste of sour citrus fruits like lemons and limes. But the psoralen compounds and aromatic oils in lemons are toxic to dogs and can cause an upset stomach.

Symptoms to Look For

Dogs are unlikely to eat a lemon voluntarily. If your pet does get hold of one, make sure to call your vet if you notice:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Unusual light sensitivity

For More Information

We offer a collection of articles on foods that are safe, dangerous or even toxic for dogs to eat, including vegetables, dairy, bread, and junk food. There is a wide variety of “human food” that is healthy for your dog to eat, while others are considered toxic and dangerous. Check out which fruits and veg are good for your dog here and which spices and seasonings are ok to give to your furry little buddy here. We’ve created these articles to ensure you’re informed on feeding your dog a wonderfully varied diet while learning the limitations of a dog’s sensitive digestive system.
