Can dogs eat cherries?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Avoid. The pits, stems and leaves contain cyanide compounds and the pit is a blockage hazard. The pits, stems, and leaves of cherries contain cyanide compounds which are toxic to dogs. Even if the fruit flesh is removed, the hard pit poses a serious risk of intestinal blockage that may require surgery. There is no safe way to prepare cherries for your pet given these inherent dangers.
Watch out for
- pits and seeds
- stems and leaves
- cherry juice or sweetened treats
