Additional Information

It is not recommended for dogs to consume soursop due to the lack of knowledge about its effects on dogs. Soursop may cause digestive issues and its seeds contain irritant oil that can harm dogs. Additionally, deseeding the fruit is a difficult task that poses a risk of eye inflammation.

Soursop should not be given to dogs intentionally as it is challenging to deseed the fruit and may pose a risk to their health.

There are no known benefits of feeding soursop to dogs. However, it is not toxic to them, and a small amount of the flesh may not pose harm. But excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal issues, and the seeds can be particularly dangerous due to their irritant oil.
