About TANGELO
A tangelo is a hybrid citrus fruit resulting from the crossbreeding of a tangerine and a pomelo or grapefruit. It is typically found in grocery stores and citrus-growing regions. While tangelos are not highly toxic to cats and dogs, they can cause gastrointestinal upset if ingested. The citric acid and essential oils present in the fruit can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and overall discomfort in pets. Additionally, the seeds, peel, and leaves contain compounds that could be more harmful if consumed in larger quantities. It is generally advisable to keep tangelos and other citrus fruits out of reach of pets to avoid any potential health issues.
