The article's claims about the health benefits of feeding lemons to dogs are highly overrated, if not plain wrong. I don't mean to be so negative, but unscientific articles that purport to be scientific really tick me off. I'm sure that feeding lemons in small quantities to your dog will not hurt it, but I don't think it's going to help much, either. |
Thanks for your point of view on this.. that is why I posted it on here because I wanted an honest opinion.. it is so easy to write up how something is beneficial for our dogs, but the truth is what matters
I agree with you.. it is really frustrating how people can write up an article and so many people out there probably started giving their dogs lemon's because of it. That is why I ask and research and then ask some more before giving Peanut anything!!
