Swallowing a peach seed can be concerning for a few reasons. Firstly, its size and irregular shape pose a choking hazard, and can cause an intestinal obstruction, especially in smaller dogs. Obstructions are serious and often require surgery. Secondly, peach seeds contain cyanide, which is toxic. While the hard shell protects the inner kernel, if the seed is chewed or broken, the toxins can be released. Given the potential risks, it is best to err on the side of caution. Consider this an urgent situation. Please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately for assessment and possible intervention.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
