Grapefruit is not safe for pets. The peel and oils contain psoralens that may cause vomiting, diarrhea, or depression. Keep whole fruit, peel, juice, and pith out of reach.
Grapefruit is a large citrus fruit with tart flesh and a thick aromatic peel, sold in white, pink, and ruby-red varieties.
Commonly eaten fresh or juiced for breakfast. Zest, peel oils, and juice concentrates appear in dressings, marinades, and flavored beverages.
Candied peel and dehydrated zest appear in baking. Citrus oils are used in flavor extracts and cocktail mixes. Clean counters and boards after zesting so pets don't lick the residue.
