Jackfruit is relatively new in western culture. It has gained lots of popularity as a vegan “pulled pork”. People eat it baked, fried, dried, canned, candied, or turned into jams, sauces, flour, chips and drinks. If you decide to cook up this new culinary wonder, can you offer some of the jackfruit to your pup?

Right now there is not enough research to give a definitive yes to jackfruit.

Until there is more research our best advice is to speak to your vet about this particular decision. If you do decide to offer jackfruit to your pup, remove the skin and the seeds, both of which are a choking hazard to your pup.

As with all new foods, if you do decided to offer some to your pup, start out small and monitor your dog for adverse side effects or allergic reactions after eating jackfruit.

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.
