Can dogs eat pomegranate?

My dog may have a brain tumor. I%26#039;m going to a third vet this week for help. I have been searching for supplements that might help shrink tumors in humans and be safe for dogs. I have started giving my dog coQ10, fish oil, alpha lipoic acid, and ellagic acid in the form of pomegranate powder. I found info on the other supplements for dogs except ellagic acid (aka pomegranate). One vet told me before that grapes/raisins can be toxic for dogs so I just want to be sure I%26#039;m not accidentally hurting my dog giving her the pomegranate powder. Thanks.

Can dogs eat pomegranate?
Grapes and raises ARE NOT GOOD for a dog. Your vet is wrong.





: Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill a dog





I really don%26#039;t know if pomegranate is good or bad. I couldn%26#039;t find anything, but I do have a list of that you shouldn%26#039;t feed your dog. I hope it helps somewhat.





Good luck with your dog. I hope everything turns out OK.





ADD:





I did a little more searching and found some frozen pomegranate bars that are made for dogs, so I don%26#039;t see any reason why you couldn%26#039;t give your dog pomegranate.





Again, good luck, and I hope everything turns out fine with your dog.

Reply:Pomegranate=fine


Grapes/raisins=deadly


As few as 7 grapes can cause death in a dog. I have the medical proof in a file if anyone wants to dispute it. This from the Poison Control.

  1. I was at the vet and a woman told me about an antioxidant she gives her dog called ip6. I researched briefly and found that it is actually a potent antioxidant in which small traces are found in wheat, but when concentrated it is really strong and good for pets! This doesn't answer your question, but maybe it will help in discovering other antioxidants. I was researching the same thing actually! Oh! Goji berry also very strong antioxidant and ok for dogs! good luck!
