quick question: Is it okay to share some mango with Luna? She’s been eyeing it during our BBQ and I’m not sure if it's a thing or I’m just being a worrywart. Any doggo advice or experiences out there?

Hey there! Sharing a bit of mango with Luna can be a fun treat if you take a few precautions, so you’re not just being a worrywart! Dogs can enjoy mango in moderation, but here’s what to keep in mind:

• Remove the skin and pit before offering any to Luna. The pit is a choking hazard and also contains cyanide, which is toxic to dogs.
• Introduce mango in small amounts to start, as some dogs might have sensitive stomachs. Look for any signs of digestive upset like vomiting or diarrhea.
• If she seems to enjoy it and there's no tummy trouble, mango can be a tasty occasional treat!

If Luna happens to swallow a pit, or if she shows symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, ongoing vomiting, or weakness, that would be considered an emergency, and you should definitely get in touch with a vet. For minor symptoms, monitoring her at home and ensuring she stays hydrated could be enough. Remember, treats should only make up a small portion of her diet.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
