🐕 Can My Dog Eat Pear?

Pears are a sweet, fiber-rich treat that most dogs enjoy. They contain vitamins C and K, copper, and dietary fiber that supports digestive health. The skin is safe to eat and provides additional fiber. However, pear seeds contain amygdalin, which converts to hydrogen cyanide — always remove the entire core. Avoid canned pears as they're packed in sugar syrup. Cut fresh pears into small bite-sized pieces to prevent choking. Due to sugar content, keep portions moderate.

Flesh: generally very safe. Seeds: potential cyanide toxicity if multiple seeds are crushed and consumed. Too much: diarrhea from sugar and fiber.

If your dog ate pear flesh, no concerns. If your dog ate the core with seeds, monitor for any signs of distress, though a few seeds are unlikely to cause problems for a larger dog.

Apple slices (no seeds), watermelon, blueberries, and banana are other safe fruit options.
