Can dogs eat tangerines?
Tangerines and clementines are citrus fruits: ASPCA says the fruit is not likely to cause more than minor stomach upset. AKC suggests one or two small orange segments a day; no source gives a separate amount for tangerines.
How to serve it: peeled, seeds removed, in small segments
Good to know: Keep the peel out of the bowl: it can cause problems (ASPCA) and a blockage (AKC).
