Can dogs eat mango? Yes, in moderation

Safe in moderation. Peeled mango is a sweet treat; always remove the pit, which is a choking hazard and contains a little cyanide.

If your dog ate a lot

  1. No need to worry if your dog ate some peeled mango flesh.
  2. If your dog swallowed the pit, call your vet for advice and watch for vomiting, gagging or not eating.

Don't

  • Don't let your dog chew or swallow the pit.

How to give it safely

Peel it, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into small pieces. Offer only as an occasional treat because of the sugar.

Why

The pit can get stuck in the throat or gut and contains small amounts of cyanide. The skin is hard to digest.
