About Lemon
Lemon is sometimes used in pet foods and treats as a flavoring or source of natural acid (citric/ascorbic acid) and antioxidants, but it is not an essential nutrient for dogs or cats, which can synthesize vitamin C. While small amounts of fresh lemon flesh are unlikely to be harmful, the acidity and citrus essential oils (such as limonene) can cause gastrointestinal upset, mouth irritation, or more serious reactions in sensitive animals—especially cats—so citrus fruits, oils, and concentrated extracts should be used cautiously or avoided.
