About ABIU

ABIU refers to the fruit of the Pouteria caimito tree, commonly known as abiu, which is native to the Amazon region and grown in other tropical areas. The fruit itself is generally not considered toxic to cats and dogs. However, it is essential to avoid allowing pets to consume the seeds or an excessive amount of the fruit, as the seeds may pose a choking hazard and any unknown toxins could potentially cause digestive upset. Always consult a veterinarian before introducing any new food into your pet's diet.
