About Papaya
Papaya is a tropical fruit used in pet foods and treats as a natural flavor, source of soluble fiber and vitamins (notably vitamins A and C and folate), and for the digestive enzyme papain which can assist protein digestion. In small amounts it can provide antioxidants and ease digestion for dogs and cats, but its high sugar content and the potential for gastrointestinal irritation or allergic reactions mean seeds and unripe latex should be avoided and ripe flesh fed only in moderation, particularly for diabetic pets.
