About CEYLON GOOSEBERRY

Ceylon Gooseberry (Dovyalis hebecarpa) is a fruit-bearing shrub native to Sri Lanka and India. It produces small, dark purple berries. While the fruit itself is not generally considered toxic to cats and dogs, the plant parts such as leaves, stems, and seeds may pose a risk. Pets consuming these parts could potentially experience gastrointestinal upset. As a precaution, it is best to avoid allowing pets to consume Ceylon Gooseberry plants or fruits to prevent any adverse effects. Always consult a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has ingested any part of this plant.
