Why Persimmons Should Be Avoided
Persimmon seeds and pits can cause intestinal blockage and inflammation in dogs. The seeds are large and smooth, making them easy to swallow but difficult to pass. Intestinal blockage from persimmon seeds may require surgical intervention. The flesh of the persimmon is not toxic but is high in sugar. If you live in an area where persimmon trees grow, be aware that fallen fruit is attractive to dogs.
