Can Dogs Eat Mangoes?

• Mango is a vitamin-rich snack, containing:
• Vitamins A, B6, C, and E: A cocktail of vitamins that support the immune system, skin, coat, and vision.
• Fiber: Aids in healthy digestion.
• Antioxidants: Helps protect the body against free radicals.

• The single most important rule when feeding mango to a dog is to remove the pit.
• Choking and Blockage: The large, hard pit is a major choking hazard and can easily cause a life-threatening intestinal blockage if swallowed.
• Cyanide: Like apple seeds, mango pits contain small amounts of cyanide, which is toxic. While one pit is unlikely to cause cyanide poisoning, the blockage risk is the more immediate and serious threat.
• The skin of the mango can also be difficult to digest, so it's best to remove it as well.

1. Peel the Mango: The skin can be tough, so it's best to peel it off. 2. REMOVE THE PIT: This is not optional. The pit must be removed and disposed of safely out of your dog's reach. 3. Cut the Flesh into Chunks: Slice the soft, yellow flesh into bite-sized pieces. 4. Serve in Moderation: Mango is high in sugar, so it should only be given as an occasional treat. A few chunks are a sufficient serving for most dogs.

The fleshy part of a mango is a safe, sweet, and vitamin-packed treat for a dog. Always ensure the pit is completely removed and the fruit is cut into appropriate-sized chunks before sharing.
