Why orange seeds are a bad choice for dogs

What to do if your dog eats orange seeds

1. Remove any remaining seeds.

2. Monitor for vomiting, gagging, or digestive upset.

3. Contact your veterinarian if your dog ate a large amount or seems unwell.

4. Prepare future orange servings seed-free.

Signs to watch for

Dogs should only get seed-free orange flesh if orange is offered.
