Fruits/Vegetables that Pets Should Avoid

Fruits and vegetables can be a great option for your dog or cat, especially for a low-calorie treat between meals.

But did you know that many fruits and vegetables can be toxic to your pet?

What are the best options?

• Apple pieces, but avoid the seeds and stem.
• Bananas are also good for your pet, but higher in calories.
• Watermelon, again avoiding the seeds and rind.
• Chopped carrots, probably the best option on this list!
• Peppers
• Cucumbers
• Celery
• Pumpkin
• Broccoli
• Indian wheat (do not give the ear)

Above all, avoid :

• All forms of grapes
• Avocado
• Asparagus
• Mushrooms
• Rhubarb
• Macadamia nuts
• Onion
• Peach and plum pits
• Garlic
• Cherry

If in doubt, avoid all other foods. Consult your veterinarian for more details.
