Can my Cocker Spaniel eat lemon?

Question

i was just curious, because usually instead of giving a dog treat to my dog when i am training her, i give her bits of fruit, because it's healthier, and my dogs likes fruits more than treats! so, can dogs eat lemon? even it's just a slice a day, can they?

Answer 1

NO WHEN THEY EAT IT IT CAN BE A LITTLE SOUR AND THEY WILL EAT p**p TO TAKE AWAY THE FLAVOR OTHER THAN THAT ITS FINE JUST DONT LET THEM EAT SEED

Answer 2

they can but give them or make it a  the water or make the drink

Answer 3

It is not unusual for dogs to eat fruit and some vegetables. They like acidic food and it is ok. But too much of a good thing can cause diarrhea. I have had dogs that crave avocado, tomato and mango and they all lived long healthy lives.

Answer 5

If she likes it then yes!

Answer 8

Dogs teeth are just like humans and they are made of enamel and just like in humans eating acidic things like lemons and orange juice can degrade the enamel. So if you let your dog eat acidic things then when they are older their teeth will have holes in them and fall out.
