What Happens When Dogs Eat Avocados
Avocados are a delicious and nutritious fruit that humans enjoy in salads, sandwiches, and guacamole. But what happens when dogs eat avocados? Are they safe or harmful for our canine companions?
The answer is not so simple. Avocados contain a natural antifungal compound called persin, which can be toxic to some animals, such as birds, horses, and rodents. Persin is present in the avocado pit, flesh, skin, and leaves. The amount of persin varies depending on the type and ripeness of the avocado, and the part of the plant.
Dogs are more resistant to persin than other animals, but that doesn’t mean they can eat avocados without any risk. In large amounts, persin can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and heart problems in dogs. The symptoms may vary depending on the size and health of the dog, and the amount and type of avocado ingested.
Another danger of avocados for dogs is the pit, which can cause choking or intestinal obstruction if swallowed. The pit is also very hard and can damage the teeth or gums of the dog. The flesh and skin of the avocado are also high in fat, which can lead to pancreatitis, a serious inflammation of the pancreas, in dogs. Pancreatitis can cause abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fever, and dehydration in dogs, and may require hospitalization and treatment.
So, can dogs eat avocado at all? The answer is yes, but only in small amounts and with caution. Some dogs may enjoy a bite or two of ripe avocado flesh as a treat, but they should never eat the pit, skin, or leaves of the avocado. Owners should also monitor their dogs for any signs of adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, and contact their veterinarian if they notice any problems.
Avocados are not a necessary or beneficial part of a dog’s diet, and there are many other fruits and vegetables that dogs can eat safely and healthily. Owners should always consult their veterinarian before introducing any new food to their dogs, and follow their advice on what and how much to feed them. Avocados may be a superfood for humans, but they are not a superfood for dogs.
