Cats cannot eat persimmon skins. Feeding cats persimmon peels can easily irritate the gastrointestinal tract, cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and may also lead to bloating, indigestion, or constipation. Moreover, persimmon peel can easily cause enteritis in cats, which may lead to intestinal obstruction in severe cases. Dogs cannot eat persimmon skins either. Because persimmon skin contains tannic acid, it reacts with protein under the action of gastric acid to form a precipitate called persimmon stone, which will damage the dog's gastric mucosa. If it is a green persimmon, it may also cause indigestion.

What to do if cats and dogs accidentally eat persimmon peels:

1. Cats and dogs should be observed first after eating persimmon peels, because a small amount of persimmon peels will not cause any harm to cats and dogs. Even if there are obvious symptoms, cats and dogs also have their own digestion and healing abilities. If there are no symptoms, the owner does not need to worry too much.

2. If cats and dogs develop diarrhea, drooling, drowsiness and other symptoms after eating persimmon peels, it may be because they have eaten a large amount of persimmon peels, which contain alkaloids. and atropine can cause these symptoms in cats and dogs. This can be relieved by giving cats and dogs plenty of water to drink.

3. If cats and dogs have symptoms such as vomiting or even difficulty breathing, they should seek medical attention immediately.
