Soursop and pets: can you give it to your dog or cat?
Soursop, also known as graviola or Annona muricata, is a tropical fruit. Some of its parts, such as the leaves, seeds, bark and roots, contain compounds that are potentially toxic to animals, including pets such as dogs and cats. It is therefore generally recommended not to give soursop or soursop-based products to pets.
Eating these parts of the fruit can cause symptoms in pets such as digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhoea), seizures, neurological problems and other adverse effects on their health.
If you have pets and would like to introduce new foods into their diet, it is essential to ask your vet first. Vets can give you advice suited to the health and specific needs of your animals.
In short, as a precaution, it is best not to give soursop to pets because of the potential risks to their health. Always ask a vet for appropriate advice on feeding and caring for your pets.
