Can dogs eat avocado?
🥑 Okay with care
Avocado contains persin and the large pit is a choking/obstruction hazard. Small amounts of flesh are usually fine but it's high in fat.
If eaten: Never let dogs near the pit or skin.
The bottom line
Avocado can be given to dogs with care and only in small, plain amounts — read the cautions above first.
