Can cats or dogs eat pomegranate?
Cats: Not conclusive · Dogs: Be careful — According to PetMD, large amounts of pomegranate seeds pose a risk of intestinal blockage. And pomegranate peels contain small amounts of cyanide and pose a more serious risk of clogging than seeds. Overall, it is therefore not recommended that dogs eat fresh pomegranate. Because the risks are greater than the benefits. For cats, there is no direct safety information available from veterinarians. I don't recommend pomegranate as a snack at all. If a pet eats a large amount of peel or seeds and has vomiting or diarrhea, Take him to the veterinarian.
