About VELVET APPLE

The Velvet Apple, also known scientifically as "Diospyros blancoi" and commonly referred to as Mabolo, is a fruit native to the Philippines, but it can also be found in other tropical regions. When it comes to pets, specifically cats and dogs, the Velvet Apple is generally considered non-toxic. However, it is not commonly recommended for pet consumption due to its uncommonness and potential for causing gastrointestinal upset if ingested in large amounts. Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing any new or unusual food to your pet's diet.
