Haskaps (Honeyberries): Toxicity to Dogs

Haskaps are generally considered non-toxic to dogs; however, they contain a small amount of cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide when ingested in large quantities.

Symptoms of Cyanide Poisoning in Dogs:

  • Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Seizures
  • Collapse

What to Do if Your Dog Ate a Haskap:

1. Stay Calm:

  • Remain calm and don’t panic.

2. Determine How Many Haskaps Your Dog Ate:

  • Estimate the number of haskaps your dog consumed.

3. Monitor Your Dog:

  • Observe your dog closely for any symptoms of cyanide poisoning.

4. Contact a Veterinarian:

  • If your dog is showing symptoms of cyanide poisoning, contact your veterinarian immediately.
  • Even if your dog is not showing symptoms, call your veterinarian for guidance based on the number of haskaps ingested.

5. Bring Evidence to the Veterinarian:

  • If possible, bring a sample of the haskaps that your dog ate with you to the veterinarian’s office.

6. Treatment:

  • Treatment for cyanide poisoning in dogs typically involves:
    • Administering oxygen
    • Giving activated charcoal to absorb the cyanide
    • Sodium nitrite or thiosulfate to form a complex with cyanide

7. Prevention:

  • Keep haskaps out of reach of your dog.
  • Supervise your dog when they are in areas where haskaps may be present.
