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:

  1. 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.
  2. Look for signs of digestive upset: If your dog shows signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite, contact your veterinarian.
  3. Contact your veterinarian if:
    • Your dog consumed a large amount of pear.
    • Your dog ate the seeds or stem.
    • You notice any concerning symptoms.

Here are some resources for pet poison control in the United States:

  • American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Poison Control Center: (888) 426-4435
  • Pet Poison Helpline: (855) 777-6476

I hope this helps!
