- Not a substitute for professional veterinary help.
No. For one thing, dogs don’t enjoy the taste of sour citrus fruits like limes and lemons. More importantly, limes are toxic to dogs. Contact with or consumption of any part of the lime — leaves, peel, or fruit — can cause illness.
Symptoms to Look For
Dogs are unlikely to eat a lime voluntarily. If your pet does get ahold of one, be sure to call your vet if you notice:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Unusual light sensitivity
