My Pom got a tiny bit of lime yesterday and LOVED it! Now everytime I take a lime out of the fridge, he is whining and begging for it like it was a piece of bacon. My DH has given my Westie a small piece of tangerine and she begs for it too when she sees him eating one. Is citrus safe for dogs in small/moderate amounts?

One of my dogs loves playing with lemons. She'll bite into it then throw it in the air. It's like a toy. All of my gang like tangerines. They play with it like a ball then tear it open and eat the inside. I've never had an issue. A tangerine is pretty small amount for a 60 lbs dog. I would suppose it might upset a sensitive stomach but it's not going to do permanent damage. Though, I could see a Lab swallowing a key lime whole.That Tenacious Terrier!
