About KIWI

Kiwi is a fruit that comes from the Actinidia deliciosa plant, commonly found in regions like New Zealand, Italy, and California. It is generally safe for cats and dogs to consume in small amounts, as it is not toxic to them. However, due to its high fiber content, excessive intake may cause digestive issues such as diarrhea. It's advisable to remove the skin and seeds before offering kiwi to pets to reduce any potential choking hazards and minimize the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing new foods to your pet's diet.
