About EMU APPLE

The 'EMU APPLE' refers to the fruit of the plant Owenia acidula, which is native to Australia. This fruit is sometimes called the "bush plum" and grows on small to medium-sized trees. Regarding its safety for pets, specifically cats and dogs, there is limited specific data on its toxicity. Generally, it's advisable to avoid giving pets any fruit or plant not confirmed as safe for them by authoritative sources like veterinarians or pet poison control, due to potential unknown risks. Always consult a vet before introducing new or unusual foods to your pets' diet.
