About PLUOT

A 'Pluot' is a hybrid fruit that combines traits of plums and apricots. It is primarily found in grocery stores and farmers' markets. When it comes to pets, particularly cats and dogs, Pluots are generally considered safe in small amounts. However, the pits and seeds should be avoided as they can pose a choking hazard and contain small amounts of cyanogenic compounds, which can be toxic if ingested in large quantities. Additionally, excessive consumption of the fruit can cause gastrointestinal upset due to its high sugar and fiber content. As always, consult a veterinarian before introducing any new food into your pet's diet.
