Why Peach Pits Should Be Avoided
Peach pits are dangerous for two reasons: they contain amygdalin (which converts to cyanide when digested) and they are large enough to cause intestinal blockage. A dog that swallows a peach pit may require surgical removal. Signs of blockage include vomiting, loss of appetite, straining to defecate, and abdominal pain. If feeding peach flesh (which is safe), always remove the pit completely first.
