Can I give plums to dogs?
ChatGPT
Plums are one of the fruits that dogs should be careful with. Plums contain a harmful chemical called hydrogen cyanide, which can have harmful effects on dogs. Hydrogen cyanide is highly toxic and can cause poisoning if ingested by dogs.
You should avoid giving plums to dogs. Plum seeds are especially rich in hydrogen cyanide, so in addition to removing the seeds, avoid feeding them the fruit itself. Symptoms of hydrogen cyanide poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, difficulty breathing, and loss of consciousness. If your dog accidentally eats plums or shows signs of poisoning, you should contact your veterinarian immediately for treatment.
In general, avoid giving your dog stone fruits (such as plums, apricots, and cherries), including plums. Instead, it’s important to provide your dog with safe treats, fruit, and a balanced diet. We also recommend adjusting your dog’s diet to suit his health and seeking advice from your veterinarian to ensure he gets the nutrition he needs.
