The flesh of a peach is generally safe for dogs in moderation. The part you need to be concerned about is the pit. Here's what to do:
- Check for the pit: If your dog swallowed the peach whole, there's a chance they might have swallowed the pit too. Peach pits contain a small amount of cyanide, which can be poisonous to dogs. Look for the pit in your dog's stool over the next day or two.
- Contact your veterinarian if:
- You saw your dog swallow the pit whole,
- The pit doesn't appear in their stool within a day or two, or
- Your dog shows any signs of illness after eating the peach, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or difficulty breathing.
- If there are no signs of illness and the pit passes safely, then your dog should be fine. You can monitor them for the next 24 hours and contact your vet if anything seems off.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- Peaches are a sugary treat. It's best to give them to your dog in moderation, especially if they have any weight or blood sugar issues.
- Some dogs can be sensitive to fruits. If your dog has never had peaches before, start with a small amount and see how they tolerate it.
