Persea americana

Caution

Only in limited amounts, or with the preparation steps below.

Avocado contains persin. Dogs are less sensitive than some other species, but the high fat content can trigger stomach upset or pancreatitis, and the pit is a choking and obstruction hazard.

Also known as alligator pear.

How to serve

  • Flesh in a tiny amount
    Caution

    If used at all, offer a pea-size smear of ripe flesh only. High fat is the main everyday risk.

  • Pit, skin, or large serving
    Unsafe

    Do not feed. The pit can block the gut; skin and large fatty servings add obstruction and pancreatitis risk.
