These are only good for humans.
The good news: Summer fruits like peaches and cherries aren't inherently toxic to dogs."If your dog gets a pitted cherry or a slice or two of some peach, it should be fine," saysof Juniper Valley Animal Hospital in Queens, New York. Unfortunately, these summer fruits can cause distress if your dog downs an entire plate."You would not want to overdo it, as too much could certainly cause some digestive upset with vomiting and diarrhea," McCarthy adds.
This chewing causes the formation and release of cyanide, which interferes with your dog's oxygen metabolism."Dogs will have dilated pupils, bright red mucous membranes, panting, difficulty breathing, and go into shock," says McCarthy. A similar reaction could occur if your pup munches on the leaves and stems of these fruits.
Even if your dog manages to gulp down a peach pit or a number of cherry pits without chewing, it's possible they could wind up with an intestinal blockage, says McCarthy."So if you suspect that your dog has ingested any cherry or peach pits, whether chewed or not, or their associated foliage, it is best to contact your local veterinarian or animal ER as soon as possible," he says.
