Jujube is also known as a Chinese date, Chinese apple or a red date. They have a similar flavor profile to an apple. They are a delicious superfood rich with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. For centuries the jujube has been used for medicinal purposes. Can your pup partake in all the jujube’s healing properties?
Yes, jujube can be given to your pup when they are properly prepared. To give your pup a jujube first be sure that it is fresh. Unripe jujubes are green and smooth. When they ripen they wrinkle and become red or purple. Next remove both pits from the jujube. The seeds contain cyanide. If your dog has eaten jujube seeds contact your vet immediately. If your dog eats a jujube and then begins to show symptoms including abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, loss of consciousness, get to a vet immediately.
There are holistic veterinarians that use a combination of jujube and other potent herbs as a method of treating anxiety and allergies in dogs.
The catch with jujubes is their high sugar content. Only offer your pup a small amount of jujubes once a week to avoid giving your pup too much sugar. Dogs with diabetes should not have this fruit.
Dried jujubes can be given to your dog but note that the sugar content is even more concentrated so only a very sparing amount should be offered to you pup.
To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
