Can dogs and cats eat oranges and citrus?

Also covers: lemon, lime, grapefruit, satsuma, clementine

DogsOnly with care

A few pieces of orange flesh are fine for most dogs. Peel, seeds and stems can irritate the stomach.

CatsOnly with care

Peel, stems and seeds contain oils that can irritate. Most cats avoid citrus anyway.

If your pet ate some: Usually only an upset stomach. Call your vet if vomiting continues.
