Every dog is different. Individual allergies and sensitivities are common — always introduce new foods in small amounts and watch for adverse reactions. This site is for informational purposes only and is not veterinary advice. Always consult your vet.
The Full Picture
Fresh pear slices with the seeds, core, and stem removed are safe for dogs. Pears provide vitamins C and K, copper, and fibre. Like apple seeds, pear seeds contain traces of cyanide, so always core the pear before serving. Cut into bite-sized pieces to prevent choking. Avoid tinned pears in syrup. Pears are relatively high in natural sugar, so feed in moderation as a treat.
What You Should Know
While pears is not outright toxic, there are important precautions to bear in mind before sharing it with your dog. Portion size matters, and certain preparations or varieties may be unsafe. If your dog has any existing health conditions, check with your vet first.
