Pomegranate seeds are not toxic and can be a good treat for some dogs. However, they have been known to cause GI upset (vomiting and diarrhea) in some dogs.
You can offer a few seeds, or arils, and see if he tolerates them. If so, offer them occasionally as treats. If he vomits, you will need to find a different snack.
