Paws Off! The Dangerous Foods You Must Avoid for Your Pets

7. Avocados: Cats and Dogs

Avocados are incredibly popular globally, particularly among millennials, but they are toxic to pets. No matter how fashionable avocado toast becomes, it's important to keep it away from your furry companions.

Pets can choke on avocado pits if swallowed, and the leaves, fruit, seeds, and bark contain persin, which can induce vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Birds and rodents are particularly vulnerable to avocado toxicity, which can cause breathing difficulties, congestion, and fluid buildup around the heart.
