Chewing could also result in the pit being swallowed, causing continuous exposure to cyanide, or could cause the dog to choke. | Thank you! I didn't know that... of course, I don't give my dogs anything I'm not sure of, but now I definitely know better than to give that to them. The fruits themselves are okay to give right?
