About LONGAN
Longan (Dimocarpus longan) is a tropical fruit similar to lychee, commonly found in Southeast Asia. While it is safe for human consumption, longan should not be fed to pets like cats and dogs. The flesh of the fruit is high in sugar, which can lead to gastrointestinal upset in pets. More importantly, the longan seed is toxic because it contains saponins, which can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy if ingested. To ensure pet safety, it is best to avoid offering longan to cats and dogs.
