Golden Happy to have new friends who own a farm and supply us with tasty fruits n vegetable.
Lately we got lots of avocados … it must be in season.
Unfortunately, I can’t have it. WHY?
Avocados are toxic for dogs (for cats too and other animals such as horses).
It contains a toxic substance known as Persin.
The avocado fruit as well as the bark, the leaves and the seeds are considered highly poisonous.
Vomiting and diarrhea occurs in dogs after eating avocados.
Blockage caused by the avocado seed can land the dog in a life threatening situation.
Avocados are only for human consumption.
Mom’s favorite is to make guacamole with avocados.
Mmmm Chips n Guacamole, maybe she’ll share some of the chips with me …
Definitely Tuesdays Just Got Tastier.

SUGAR
hey Sugar,
Thank you for this very informative post. I never knew avocados were harmful to dogs. My human, K, loves them and has given me leftover guacamole dip. Yikes! Avocados are also toxic to parrots and can kill them. Too bad for us dogs and parrots because K says avocados are delicious!
How great that you made a new friend, and a farmer to boot! The avocados look so big and yummy, and the wooden bowl they are in is beautiful!
Happy Tuesday!

A pup would have to eat an awful lot of the fruit to get sick! The leaves, stem, peel and pit are definitely dangerous, but like lots of things, in moderation the fruit is usually OK! In fact, there’s an entire brand of dog food that’s designed around the use of avocado meal & oil for healthy skin & coat (AvoDerm). A study at UC Davis, showed that it’s a specfic type of avocado (Guatemalan) that s associated with the toxicity issues – we get a taste of avocados from time to time and we love it! I guess it depends on if your parents know what variety of avocado they’re getting, eh?
Thanks for sharing this important information!! It IS a cute tongue shot! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
Hey Sugar, Jet here.
Darn, darn, darn, we do enjoy a smidge of the green stuff when Mom uses them…
OMC/OMDs Sugar we had no idea about avacodos….but one thing for sure you and your Sugar sweet tongue are adorable. Avacodos are one of those look but not touch things.
We are so glad you are joining our back to school bash!!
Hugs your BFFF

We’ve always wondered about that – we have heard they are poisonous, but in our pet food store, some of the higher end dog foods have avocado as an ingredient. We can’t figure out why!
Sam
How interesting! I always love learning what human noms are good for doggies too, and which we have to avoid!
Mom loves those green things too. Good to know, say no to avocados

Hey Sugar,
I’ve never got to try Avocados, but it’s good to know I should steer clear of them anyway 🙂
Hope you’re having a fun day 🙂
Your pal Snoopy 🙂

Happy Day to you Sugar, Great post but I also wondered about the food I used to feed out last dog-Avoderm that has avocado in it. It is better to have this knowledge so we can check it out too. Thanks for sharing and as always, you’ve put a smile on my face.

I’m glad that you are aware of that there are some other poisonous food that many of us are feeding our pets unkowingly.
I will be creating a blog about the types of food to avoid feeding dogs.
Thanks for sharing the info with others
