Can dogs eat persimmons? Dogs can eat persimmons, which are rich in fructose, fiber, and vitamins. All of these nutrients are important for the growth and development of dogs and can be fed to dogs once a week. However, breeders should not feed their dogs too much persimmons, as they contain a lot of coarse fiber. The dog’s gut cannot fully digest and absorb the crude fiber, so too much of it can add to the gastrointestinal burden and seriously cause gastroenteritis. It is recommended that breeders feed their dogs dog food with high fruit and vegetable content instead of feeding persimmons. This not only gives the dog additional nutrition, but also avoids adding burden to the dog’s stomach.
