dog-food-safety-information

No. Tamarinds are not safe for dogs to eat. It is strongly advised against feeding tamarinds to dogs because it contains tartaric acid, a substance that has nephrotoxic effects in dogs. It can potentially cause acute kidney injury in dogs when ingested in large doses.

Risks

  • Tamarinds contain tartaric acid, which has been recognized in theory as the toxic agent in grapes and raisins that can cause poisoning in dogs. Due to the variable nature of tartaric acid content in tamarinds, the amount of tamarinds that can cause toxicity to dogs is inconclusive, so it's best to keep tamarinds away from dogs.
  • Tamarind seeds are a choking hazard for dogs.
