Can I give my dog Yuzu?

Yuzu, also known as Japanese grapefruit, is a citrus fruit that is native to East Asia. While it may be a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, it is not recommended to feed yuzu to dogs. This is because yuzu has high acidity levels, similar to those of lemons and limes, which can lead to digestive issues for dogs. Even a small amount of yuzu can be toxic to dogs due to the citric acid it contains, causing vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pains, and loose stools. It is best to keep yuzu away from your furry friend to avoid any potential health issues.
