Can dogs eat it?

Can dogs eat peaches?

Yes, in moderation Yes, the fresh flesh in small cubes. Remove the stone, stem and leaves: the stone can block the gut and contains cyanide compounds.

Why

Fresh peach gives fibre and vitamin A but plenty of sugar (AKC). The stone is the danger: it can choke a dog or block the gut, and AKC says it contains a form of cyanide. PDSA lists peach and nectarine among safe fruits with the stone removed, and RSPCA Australia says never feed fruit stones. Tinned peaches in syrup have too much sugar.

If your dog ate peaches

If your dog swallowed a stone, call your vet: it can cause a blockage.

How to give it safely

Fresh only, stone, stem and leaves removed, cut into small cubes, as an occasional treat.

This is general guidance, your vet sets the actual schedule. Puppies, small dogs and dogs with a health condition can react to smaller amounts. Check with your own vet before changing what your dog eats.

Other foods people ask about

Apples Yes, in moderation Yes. Apple slices are a good low calorie treat. Remove the core and seeds first. Apricots Yes, in moderation Yes, a little fresh flesh with the stone removed. Never the stone, kernel, stem or leaves, which contain cyanide compounds. Avocado Only with care Best avoided. The flesh is low risk, but the stone can block the gut, the skin and leaves contain persin, and guacamole has onion. Bananas Yes, in moderation Yes, in small amounts. Banana is a fine occasional treat, but it is high in sugar. Peel it first. Blackberries Yes, in moderation Yes. Fresh blackberries are a low calorie treat. Wash them and keep the portion small. Blueberries Yes, in moderation Yes. Blueberries are low in calories and full of antioxidants, and most dogs love them.
