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. |
Actually, lemons are alkaline forming.
This is because their acids, such as citric acid, are weak acid and the Lemon's overall nutrients are alkaline.
