Bad Food #5: Avocados

Avocados are delicious and also very nutritious. They are packed full of vitamins and minerals and are a great source of the healthy kinds of fats. Despite their great taste and health benefits for humans, though, you should avoid giving them to dogs.

For one thing, avocados contain persin. This compound is toxic to dogs, although they would need to eat it in very high doses to be dangerous. What’s more of a problem is the seeds. These are very hard to digest and can become stuck in the digestive system. Anything blocking the digestive system can be very dangerous, so avocados should be avoided.
