Mangosteen fruit, also called purple mangosteen, hails from Southeast Asia. It is still a relatively unknown fruit in the US, but it boasts excellent anecdotal health benefits. It is said to be anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous, supports a healthy immune system, stabilizes blood sugars, and helps with weight loss, to name just a few. With all these health benefits, can your pup reap some benefits as well?

Yes, with proper preparation mangosteen fruit can be given to dogs in moderation. Remove the fruit from the outer shell. Then remove the seeds from the white flesh. The seeds pose a choking hazard, internal blockage risk and are very difficult for a dog to digest. 

Like many fruits, mangosteen is high in sugar. As with all treats, moderation is key. Treats should never exceed 10% of a dog’s daily diet. If this is the first time you are offering mangosteen to your pup, give a small amount and then monitor your pup for any adverse reactions.

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 your pup healthy.
