Is tangerine safe for dogs?
The soft flesh of tangerine is not toxic to dogs and can be offered as an occasional small treat. Remove the peel, pith and seeds, as these parts are harder to digest and contain more concentrated citrus oils. Some dogs are sensitive to citrus fruits; speak to your vet if your dog has a sensitive stomach.
Does tangerine provide any nutrition for dogs?
Tangerine contains water, natural sugars and vitamin C, but dogs produce their own vitamin C so they do not rely on fruit for it. Because of the sugar content, only a small segment now and then is sensible. It is not a necessary part of a balanced diet.
