Can dogs eat avocado?
Potentially unsafe
Avocado is best avoided — the pit is a serious choking and blockage risk.
What you should know
The flesh is high in fat and contains persin, which is more of a concern for other animals but can upset some dogs. Guacamole often contains onion and garlic.
Practical guidance
- Never let dogs chew the pit.
- Avoid guacamole entirely.
- Contact your vet if the stone is swallowed.
