HEALTH BENEFITS OF TANGERINES: Tangerines are perhaps most commonly known for its high content of Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can alleviate inflammation and increase immunity to fight off infection. It is also high in fiber which may regulate bowel movements and decrease incidental diarrhea & constipation. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, tangerines are considered a warming food that clear heat, promote circulation, improve digestion and decrease phlegm. It is said by some dog nutritionist that 15-25% of a healthy dog’s diet should be made up of a variety of fruits or veggies. The key is to include a diverse range of produce to make up that total percentage. When to avoid: Due to high sugar content, tangerines would not be suitable for dogs with diabetes. Some dogs might also be allergic or sensitive to citrus fruits. Start with a small piece and monitor your dog for any signs of an allergic reaction, such as itching, swelling, or digestive upset.
