Caution
Figs are mildly toxic to dogs.
Can cause drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea. Fig plant sap can irritate skin. If your dog eats a small piece, monitor closely.
Caution
Figs should be avoided for cats.
The sap and leaves contain ficin and ficusin which can cause skin and oral irritation. The fruit itself is less toxic but high in sugar. Best avoided.
If your dog has eaten this food and shows signs of distress (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, tremors, or seizures), contact your veterinarian immediately.
