Pet owner to pet owner, we’d say no.

But the technical answer isn’t a clear-cut yes or no if your dog can eat a pomegranate. This is due to pomegranates containing several different parts which aren’t all safe for pups. The seeds and juice within the seeds are edible for dogs, although large quantities of seeds can cause digestive upset, and since they don’t break down easily. They can also cause a digestive tract blockage.

In general, pomegranate leaves should not be consumed by dogs (there are small amounts of nutrients in them that aren’t really worth eating, considering the risk).

Today, pomegranate is used increasingly often in dog food and dog treats. Additionally, a number of pet companies have begun to make their own pomegranate supplements to increase the overall health of your pup. Overall, if your dog can eat fruit, then they can probably eat a pomegranate. The fruit helps to promote joint health in dogs. Pomegranate also promotes blood flow to increase energy levels and overall health. Some other benefits: 

•   Treatment of ear infections for dogs
•   Pomegranate extract can treat oral infections which promote oral hygiene
• Antioxidants help reduce dog food spoilage
