Can dogs eat loquats?

Dogs can’t eat loquat. The pulp, core and skin of loquat contain an alkaloid, so if you feed too much loquat, it will cause the alkaloid in your dog’s body to exceed the limit and your dog will have difficulty breathing, vomit or even go into shock, so there is no need to give your dog loquat. There are many fruits that dogs can eat, such as apples, pears, etc. Just eat fruits that are gentle and harmless to the body. Although loquat is rich in vitamins, trace elements and fructose, it is not easy to digest and can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in dogs, and the kernel of loquat contains a small amount of cyanide, which can cause poisoning if dogs swallow too much. Not only is it not recommended for dogs to eat loquat, but also loquat extract and other cough medicines used by humans are not recommended for dogs. Although this medicine is a relatively mild Chinese medicine, the sugar content in it is excessive for dogs and may lead to gastroenteritis. In addition some dogs may have allergic reactions to loquat, so it is not recommended to feed loquat to dogs.
