Pears are generally safe for dogs in small quantities, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- Seeds and stem: The pear seeds and stem can be harmful. Seeds contain trace amounts of cyanide, which is toxic to dogs. The stem can be a choking hazard.
- Quantity: A large amount of pear could cause stomach upset or diarrhea.
Here’s what to do:
- Monitor your dog: If your dog ate only a small amount of pear flesh (no seeds or stem), they will likely be fine. Keep an eye on them for the next day or so.
- Look for signs of digestive upset: If your dog shows signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite, contact your veterinarian.
- Contact your veterinarian if:
- Your dog consumed a large amount of pear.
- Your dog ate the seeds or stem.
- You notice any concerning symptoms.
