| ruby Pomegranate |
Don't know | Be careful | According to PetMD, large quantities of pomegranate seeds risk intestinal blockage. And pomegranate peels contain small amounts of cyanide and pose a more serious risk of clogging than seeds. Overall, it is therefore not recommended that dogs eat fresh pomegranate. Because the risks are greater than the benefits. For cats, there is no direct safety information available from veterinarians. |
| lemon Lime |
Be careful | Be careful | Lemon pulp can be eaten in small quantities. But the bark and other parts of the tree contain essential oils and psoralens, which are toxic to both cats and dogs, according to the ASPCA, which classifies lemons (Citrus aurantifolia) as toxic to pets. Thai people use squeezed lime as an ingredient in almost every meal (somtam, tom yum), so be careful not to allow pets to lick the peel or concentrated lime juice. |
| Cassava Cassava |
Do not eat | Do not eat | Raw cassava contains cyanogenic glycosides that release cyanide. The Merck Veterinary Manual lists cassava (Manihot esculenta) among the important cyanide plants in veterinary medicine and notes dogs clear cyanide more slowly than other animals — untreated poisoning has a low survival rate and the toxin acts very fast. Never let your pet touch raw cassava. No source has confirmed a safe amount of cooked cassava for dogs or cats either, so avoiding it entirely is best. Note: the source covers animals in general and names dogs specifically, but has no separate data for cats. |
| Cantaloupe Cantaloupe |
edible | edible | Cantaloupe or melon are safe fruits for dogs and cats when given as small snacks. But you must peel the skin and remove all the seeds. This is because the hard shell is difficult to digest and risks blocking the intestines. Including high sugar content, it should not be given often. |
| cashew nuts Cashew |
Be careful | Be careful | For dogs, the AKC says cashews are generally not toxic — a few once in a while is fine, but they're very high in fat, so frequent snacking risks weight gain and pancreatitis. Store-bought cashews are usually salted, which risks salt toxicity, and watch out for mixed nuts containing macadamias, which are strongly toxic to dogs. For cats, no major veterinary source has weighed in. |
| Plain air-popped popcorn Plain Air-Popped Popcorn |
Don't know | edible | The AKC says plain air-popped popcorn is fine as an occasional dog treat, and the ASPCA notes air-popped is only about 35 calories a cup.

There is no direct safety information available for cats. |
| Boba / tapioca pearls Boba / tapioca pearls |
Be careful | Be careful | Boba pearls are tapioca starch and sugar. The starch itself has no recorded toxicity — it's even an ingredient in grain-free dog foods — but pearls are pure starch and sugar, and sweets like this drive weight gain and diabetes risk. The real danger is the whole cup of milk tea: dogs and cats are far more sensitive to caffeine than people, and the lactose in milk often gives them diarrhea. The chewy round pearls are also a choking risk, especially for small dogs. |
| Grilled pork Grilled Pork Skewers |
Be careful | Be careful | Grilled pork marinade usually includes a large amount of minced garlic. Garlic is among the Allium plants that the VCA and Pet Poison Helpline confirm can destroy red blood cells in both dogs and cats. whether raw or cooked Marinades that contain both soy sauce and sugar add more sodium than necessary. And bamboo skewers can be physically harmful to the stomach and intestines if pets swallow them whole. |
