Sure...... just keep those pits away from them!! Shelby & Seymour LOVE peaches....but they sure are messy!

Dumb question, what is bad about the pits? Are they harmful somehow?

Apple seeds, cherry pits, peach pits, pear pips, plums pits, and apricot pits contain cyanide, which is poisonous. While a few apple seeds may not cause a problem, the effects can accumulate over time if they are given to dogs regularly. Dogs should not be allowed to chew on a peach pit, cherry pit, apricot pit, or plum pit. Chewing can allow ingestion of cyanide. 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?

Grapes and raisins are NOT good to give...they, too, can be dangerous..... I like to give bits of apple and also peach (when in season). I also have given pears but they like apple the best......... and of course they are small pieces. (fruit is good for them)

Thanks guys! I feel better. I figured they wouldn't contain the cyanide thats in the pits since humans eat them without much problem, but better safe then sorry.
