Can I give peaches to dogs?
ChatGPT
Peaches are a fruit that comes with some risks for dogs, so be careful. Peaches can contain a toxic substance called cyanide, which can cause poisoning in dogs if ingested in large quantities. When ingested by a dog, cyanide can interfere with oxygen supply, causing breathing difficulties and digestive problems.
Therefore, special attention should be paid to the seeds and pits of peaches, as these parts contain a large amount of cyanide. When feeding peaches to your dog, keep the following in mind:
Remove the seeds: When giving peaches to your dog, be sure to remove the seeds and pits. The seeds are highly poisonous and should never be fed to dogs.
Be careful when removing the skin: The skin of a peach also contains small amounts of cyanide, so if it's hard, it's best to remove the skin before serving, or just feed the soft parts.
Keep the right amount: Peaches also contain sugar, so be sure to keep the right amount. Feeding large amounts can raise your dog's blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of indigestion and diarrhea. Serve in small bite-sized portions and adjust to your dog's weight and size.
Beware of allergies: Dogs can have allergic reactions to new foods, so be careful when giving your dog peaches for the first time. Start with a small amount and watch your dog's reaction.
Be very careful when feeding peaches to your dog, and preferably choose other safer fruits. In the unlikely event that your dog becomes unwell after ingesting peaches, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately for advice.
