About JATOBA FRUIT

Jatoba fruit comes from the Jatoba tree (Hymenaea courbaril), commonly found in tropical regions of Central and South America. The fruit is a hard-shelled pod containing a sweet, fragrant pulp and seeds. Regarding pets, specifically cats and dogs, there is limited specific information on Jatoba fruit's direct safety or toxicity. However, it's generally advisable to err on the side of caution since many exotic fruits can contain compounds harmful to pets. Always consult a veterinarian before introducing any new or unusual food into your pet’s diet.
