Pluots are generally safe for dogs to eat in small amounts, as long as they don't ingest the seed or large quantities, which could lead to digestive upset.
- Monitor for any signs of allergy or upset stomach.
- Avoid feeding them the pit, as it can be a choking hazard and contains cyanide.
- Small pieces are best to prevent choking and to ensure easy digestion.
While a piece of pluot is unlikely to harm your dog, it's important to feed it in moderation due to its sugar content. Remember, any new food should be introduced cautiously, as some dogs may have sensitivities.
For specific concerns about your dog's reaction to new foods or if they show unusual symptoms, please book a vet consultation with one of our professionals.
