Can dogs eat mango?

Why

The flesh of the mango is nutritious and safe for dogs, but the large seed poses a choking hazard and contains trace amounts of cyanide. Additionally, the tough skin is difficult for dogs to digest and can cause stomach upset.

If you do feed it

• Always peel the mango and remove the large, hard pit before cutting the fruit into small, bite-sized pieces.
• Limit treats to a few small cubes occasionally, as the high sugar content can lead to weight gain or digestive issues.
• Introduce mango slowly to ensure your dog tolerates the fruit without an upset stomach.

Watch out for

• The large seed or pit which is a choking hazard and contains trace toxins
• The tough outer skin which is hard to digest
• Sweetened, candied, or dried mango products with added sugars
