Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica. Ackee is typically cooked like a vegetable even though it is technically a fruit. When the fruit is ripe on the tree it will split open showing its interior seeds. If you are feeling a bit adventurous and want to try a new delicious dish, can you share some ackee with your pup?

No. Ackee is toxic to dogs. The husks, seeds and arils are all poisonous to dogs, especially when they are unripe. Hypoglycin found throughout the fruit can cause problems ranging from vomiting to hypoglycemia to death. 

If you cook an unripened ackee, even the water it is cooked in is poisonous to dogs. Always prepare ackee with extreme caution.

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.
