Can Dogs Eat Avocado?

Toxic - Don’t feed
Dangerous for dogs

❌ No. Avocado pits and skins are toxic to dogs and are best avoided.

Avocados can contain persin, a fungicidal toxin that can cause serious health problems in dogs. While the flesh is not considered as toxic as the pits, skin, and leaves, it's still not recommended for canine consumption. The high fat content can also trigger pancreatitis.
