Dangerous
Persimmon seeds and pits are dangerous.
Seeds can cause intestinal obstruction and inflammation. The fruit itself isn't toxic but seeds/pits make it risky. Best to avoid entirely.
Caution
Persimmon seeds and pits are dangerous for cats.
Seeds can cause intestinal obstruction. The flesh is non-toxic but high in sugar. Remove all seeds before offering any flesh.
If your dog has eaten this food and shows signs of distress (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, tremors, or seizures), contact your veterinarian immediately.
