Can Dogs Eat Pears?
🟢 Yes, in small amounts
Yes, in small amounts. Fresh pear is a safe treat, but remove the core and seeds.
How to give pears safely
- Fresh, washed, cored, in bite-size pieces.
- Pear seeds contain traces of cyanide; the core is a choking hazard.
- Avoid canned pears in syrup.
If your dog ate too much
A few seeds are unlikely to cause harm. Call your vet if your dog ate a whole core and is vomiting or seems uncomfortable.
