About BIGNAY

Bignay (Antidesma bunius) is a fruit-bearing tree native to Southeast Asia and parts of Australia. The small, red-to-black berries it produces are known for their tart flavor and are occasionally used in jams, wines, and other food products. When it comes to pets, bignay is generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, as with any unfamiliar food, it's advisable to introduce it cautiously and observe for any adverse reactions. Always consult a veterinarian before adding any new foods to your pet's diet.
