Additional Information

Lanzones, also known as Langsat or Duku fruit, is a tropical fruit that originated in Southeast Asia. It has a sweet and tangy taste, and is commonly eaten fresh or dried. However, it is not recommended to feed this fruit to dogs. The seeds and peels contain harmful toxins like cyanide and tannins that can be poisonous to dogs. It's important to keep them away from your furry friend to prevent any accidental ingestion. Lanzones may not be affordable and easy to access, but it's always better to avoid it completely.

If you are looking for safe fruit alternatives for your dog, bananas and apples are great options. They are both affordable, easy to find, and dogs usually love them. Bananas are high in potassium and fiber, while apples are a great source of vitamin C and fiber. Just make sure to remove the seeds and core before giving them to your furry friend.
