1-year-old Shih Tzu
1-year-old Shih Tzu is generally okay in small amounts, but there are important precautions: ✅ What’s Safe: The flesh of the avocado (the green part) is safe for dogs in small amounts. It contains healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants that can benefit skin and coat health. ❌ What to Avoid: Pit (seed) – It's a choking hazard and can block intestines if swallowed. Skin – Hard to digest and can carry mold or toxins. Persin – A natural fungicidal toxin in avocado; mostly concentrated in the pit, skin, leaves, and stem. The flesh has only trace amounts and is safe in moderation for dogs. 🐶 Serving Tips for Your Shih Tzu: Give only a small spoonful of avocado flesh at a time (no more than a few bites). Introduce slowly to check for allergies or digestive upset. Avoid seasoned guacamole — garlic, onion, and salt are toxic to dogs. Bottom line: Yes, raw avocado flesh is okay in small, clean amounts for your 1-year-old Shih Tzu. Just skip the skin, pit, and anything seasoned.
