About MAQUI

Maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) is a berry found in South America, particularly in Chile. It is known for its high antioxidant content and is sometimes used in supplements and pet foods. Maqui berries are generally considered safe for cats and dogs when given in moderate amounts. However, as with any new food, it's best to introduce it gradually and consult with a veterinarian to ensure it does not cause any adverse reactions or interact with existing health conditions. There is no substantial evidence indicating toxicity to cats and dogs, but it's always prudent to proceed with caution.
