Perhaps for the sake of eye candy or simply to play with dogs, we can see a lot of videos on the Internet of dogs eating all kinds of strong-flavored food, and the dogs have very strange expressions after eating these foods. And the taste of rich food, lemon is one of them can not miss one of them, so we can also see the video of dogs eating a lemon, and there are a lot of such videos. Many owners let their dogs eat this super sour citrus fruit, and many people get joy from these videos, but as the owners in charge, we may all have the question: can dogs eat food with a strong taste? Or maybe dogs can eat lemons?
There are some interesting videos on the Internet to show you the comical reactions of dogs when they eat a variety of strong-flavored foods. One of the videos is for dogs to eat lemons so that you can watch the dog's funny reaction, this video of a few minutes has 5.5 million views! But as a responsible pooper scooper, after the teatime jokes, we need to know two issues: can dogs eat lemons? Should owners feed their dogs lemons?

I. Dogs can't eat lemons

Dogs can't eat lemons. Lemons are very acidic, and dogs won't like the taste. Excessive intake of lemons can also stimulate the dog's stomach and intestines, leading to vomiting and diarrhea. So don't give your dog a lemon if you have nothing to do, and put the lemon away if you find your dog stealing it.

Lemons contain citric acid, which is too acidic and may stimulate the dog's gastrointestinal tract, leading to diarrhea and other symptoms. Lemons contain a lot of vitamin C, which can cause vitamin poisoning in dogs after ingestion. For the sake of your dog's health, owners should keep lemons out of their dog's reach to prevent him from accidentally ingesting them and causing adverse gastrointestinal reactions.

II. Citrus fruits

All citrus fruits contain an organic compound called psoralen. These compounds are very common in lemons and are usually highest in peel, seeds, and kernels. Depending on the dog's body condition, psoralen can cause a range of symptoms in dogs. However, psoralen is not only found in citrus fruits either, they may also be found in other plants such as celery and common figs. Just licking these plants or talking over them may not be very harmful to your dog's health, but if your dog eats a whole lemon, then he may experience some bad symptoms.

When a dog eats a whole lemon, the most common symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. As the dog eats more, the symptoms will get worse. Such as drooling, trembling, dizziness, or even normal inability to walk. These symptoms can even lead to death if the intake is relatively high and veterinary help is not sought immediately. So owners should be aware that the risk of feeding lemons to dogs should be taken seriously, or not make funny videos about it.

While casually licking a lemon may not cause medical harm, it can also bring about a crisis of trust with your dog. No one likes to be the butt of a joke or betrayed by someone they trust, and dogs are no exception. Breaking the trust between you and your dog in this way can put a strain on your relationship. Some dogs may be more optimistic and may not be affected by an event, but others can be a bit hesitant and timid in the face of these situations.

Lemonade is a popular refreshing drink, so can you give your dog lemonade? In lemonade, the acidity of the lemon is diluted by the sugar and water, and although the water will dilute the concentration of the tonic, it is best to keep your dog away from such things. If you want to give your dog a refreshing treat in the summer, ice is an easy, economical option.

III. Lemon essential oil

Many commercials will say that lemon essential oil is good for your dog's body, but you should first consult a veterinarian with knowledge of integrative medicine and essential oils, as many human essential oil remedies may not be very safe for pets.

Speaking of essential oils, cats, in particular, are very sensitive to essential oils and certain oils, and even just spraying them around the house can cause serious damage to your cat. If you want to use essential oils on your dog at home, your veterinarian will be able to recommend the proper and safe oils for you. When you use essential oils on yourself, it is best to isolate yourself from your dog first, because your dog can breathe in things that are not good for him through his breath. Some commercials will have you use essential oils on topical areas of your dog, or even recommend feeding your dog essential oils but under no circumstances should you use any type of essential oil on your dog in this manner.

Although lemons can be made into a variety of treats, dogs should have nothing to do with these treats. Owners should also stop letting their dogs lick lemons for the sake of a joke, which can be a very unpleasant thing for them to do.

All citrus fruits contain an organic compound called psoralen, which is present in the whole lemon, but in the highest concentrations in the peel, seeds, and core. Depending on the amount ingested, psoralen can cause a range of unfavorable symptoms in dogs. Psoralen is not only found in citrus, they can also be found in other plants such as celery, parsley, West Indian ironwood, and common figs. Licking a plant containing psoralen because of curiosity does not cause significant harm to your dog, but if your dog eats a whole lemon, then some clinical signs will be evident.

If your dog eats a certain amount of lemon, the first symptoms seen may be vomiting and diarrhea. The more your dog eats, the more severe the ensuing symptoms are likely to be. If your dog eats a large amount of lemon, you may notice that your dog begins to experience a range of serious symptoms such as sensitivity to light, drooling, shaking, dizziness, or inability to walk. When enough lemons are ingested without immediate and proper treatment, these symptoms may even lead to death. So owners should take the risk of lemon ingestion seriously and try not to put their dogs at risk for the sake of making funny videos.

While a bite of lemon may not be medically damaging to a dog, it is not without consequences. No one likes to be the butt of a joke or to be played by someone they trust, and neither do dogs. Breaking your dog's trust in you in this way can put a strain on the human-animal relationship between you and your dog. Some dogs may be too sensitive and may not be affected by such an incident, but most dogs may seem more sensitive in such a deceptive situation.

Since lemons are a no-no video for dogs, what about something like lemonade? While water will certainly dilute the concentration of osteopontin, dogs should still not be allowed to drink any liquid that contains it. What about lemon essential oil? Various sources online may claim that lemon essential oil can benefit dogs, but a knowledgeable veterinarian should be consulted before giving dogs access to unknown items. Many things that are safe for humans may not be either safe or useful for pets.

There are many ways to play with your dog, and it is important to be safe while doing so and not cause unnecessary harm for the sake of a momentary joke.
