happyjillin Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Excellent post. Years ago one of our dogs almost died because we gave her leftover fried rice. The Vet said it was the mushrooms and onions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Agree..... but in our (and a friend's) experience with several different dogs, eating avocado never affected any of them. We rented a house for 10 years with 4 avocado trees -- 3 different varieties -- and dogs routinely ate any they could find that had fallen before we got to them. She experienced the same thing (rented when we left for another 6) .... and now lives in another house where dogs happily much. NOT saying it can't be true most of the time.... but of all of the above, avocados wold be the only one I wouldn't stress over. The rest---- absolutely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted December 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Years ago I was told by the Avoderm dog food rep that leaves, seeds and skin were the problem, not the fruit itself. Avaderm was wonderful dog food for dogs with sensitive skin and I was very disappointed when I couldn't get it in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 dogs I referred to ingest(ed) fruit with skin on can't say for seeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 My dog would scrape the meat off the skin of the avocados with her front teeth. Then she started liking the seeds occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 The bone thing is mostly with small cooked bones like chicken and such that can easily splinter and caught in their throats or stomaches. As for avocados our 4 little doggies have been eating avocados off our avocado tree for the past 10 years without any notable problems.

Cooked bones cannot be digested the way raw bones can. They can also splinter and tear the digestive system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Well, I never gave my dog cooked bones, but free to roam around my countryside neighborhood (almost all the neighbors have dogs and no one puts out poison), she and the other dogs had the schedule down of when most consruction workers leave the job. The dogs go check out the lunch garbage the workers leave strewn around, which inevitably included chicken bones. So me not giving her cooked bones was sort of an exercise in futility. And although I'd always heard that chocolate was poisonous to dogs, my adult daughter once forgetfully left a huge box of very expensive chocolate truffles she had been gifted by a client on her coffee table and went off to work, leaving their two labs inside. She came home that afternoon to the entire box demolished, the truffle papers all over the living room, and the dogs laying around looking a bit green around the gills, but it didn't seem to cause any long lasting effects.

MtnMama Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 You were fortunate, your dogs haven't gotten sick, yet. You can be a responsible dog owner or not, your choice. If you feed or allow eating of cooked bones, and see blood in the stool, rush you dog to the Vet ASAP. It could be life or death for your dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I have an avocado tree and the dogs fight to eat them and never have gotten sick from eating them. Actually we cannot get to the avocados fast enough, the minute one drops it is a battle for the avocado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Your choice. Just be aware if you notice vomiting or diarrhea, that is likely the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I was told by our vet many moons ago, (I was in HS at the time), that rib bones are very bad as they splinter and can cause internal punctures. If this should happen it requires surgery and can lead to death. I wont take that chance with my dogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
