About MANGOSTEEN

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical fruit found primarily in Southeast Asia. While it is safe for human consumption, its safety for pets, particularly cats and dogs, is not well-documented. Some sources suggest that small amounts may be non-toxic, but due to the lack of comprehensive studies, it's generally advised to avoid feeding mangosteen to pets. Potential risks include gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions. Always consult a veterinarian before introducing any new fruit to your pet's diet.
