Can Dogs Eat Peaches?

🟢 Safe in moderation

The flesh is fine in small amounts, but the pit is dangerous, so serve peaches carefully.

How much is okay?

A few small pieces of fresh, pit-free peach are okay. Skip canned peaches, which are loaded with sugar.

Remove the pit completely, since it's a choking and blockage hazard and contains cyanide. Cut into small pieces.

If your dog swallowed a peach pit, call your vet, since it can get stuck and may need removal.

Are peach pits toxic to dogs?

Yes. The pit contains cyanide and is also a serious choking and obstruction risk. Always remove it.
