How Do I Properly Feed Pears to My Dog?
Washed, cored, and cut into small pieces, you can offer your dog pear as a snack in between. The skin can be eaten as well, as it contains valuable fiber. If you have a puppy, you can also peel the pear beforehand and only offer the flesh. If your dog finds the fruit somewhat unappetizing, you can puree the pear and mix it into their food.
You should not offer your dog a whole pear with core and stem. The seeds contain toxic cyanide and the stem can get stuck in the throat. You should also avoid feeding canned pears, as they contain too much sugar for our furry friends!

Can Pears Be Harmful to Dogs?
Of course, you should not give your dog too much of the fruit, as the high fructose content can quickly lead to stomach issues and →diarrhea. It's best to start with a small piece and see how your dog tolerates the fruit.
Under no circumstances should you feed the core. The pear seeds contain toxic cyanide and do not belong in a dog's stomach! But don't worry - if your dog happens to snatch 1-2 seeds, it won't make much of a difference. You should be more cautious if your dog indulges in a whole pear including the core. In this case, small dog breeds like a Chihuahua or Pomeranian can quickly experience vomiting, diarrhea, and →signs of poisoning. So, it's better to head to the vet in such cases.
