Does your dog eat fruits? LIke a banana, orange or anything?

I've heard of dogs eating celery and even carrot as if they're rabbits but I have yet to see a dog eat fruit.

I've heard that avocados are dangerous to dogs. I dunno why though... Question

Jennifer Trenton · Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2008 1:07 pm Post subject:

what i read is that avocados have high fat content and this can cause vomiting or even lead to pancreatitis.

Really?

Then It's a good thing I don't like avocados myself Laughing

“Avocado leaves, fruit, seeds and bark contain a toxic principle known as persin,” according to Dana Farbman, CVT, of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. “The Guatemalan variety, which is the most common variety found in stores, appears to be the most problematic.”

The primary concern in dogs is gastrointestinal irritation, including vomiting and diarrhea. Typically, these effects are seen in dogs who have scavenged on significant quantities of fruit or branches.

Yeah, Isabella, maybe your cat is just playing with the grass and not actually eating it. Question
