Can Dogs Eat Mango?
✅ Yes! Mango flesh is safe and nutritious for dogs, but remove the pit first!
Mango is a delicious tropical fruit that's safe for dogs when prepared properly. The sweet, soft flesh is packed with vitamins and makes a great occasional treat. However, the large pit must always be removed as it contains small amounts of cyanide and poses a serious choking hazard. The skin, while not toxic, can be difficult to digest and should also be removed.

👨🍳 How to Prepare Mango for Dogs
Peel the mango completely and remove all flesh from around the large central pit. Cut the flesh into small, bite-sized pieces appropriate for your dog's size. Can be served fresh or frozen for a cooling treat. Some dogs enjoy pureed mango mixed with plain yogurt and frozen. Never give your dog access to the whole fruit with the pit.
