Can Dogs Eat Mango?
Short answer: Yes, in moderation. Mango flesh is fine as an occasional treat, but remove the pit and skin and keep portions small because it’s high in sugar.
Why it’s okay
Mango isn’t toxic to dogs, but the AKC groups it with high-sugar fruits to be given in moderation. The hard pit is a choking hazard and contains small amounts of cyanide.
How much and how to serve it
A few small cubes of ripe, peeled and pitted mango. Fresh or plain frozen only, with no added sugar.
Risks to watch for
- The pit can cause choking or an intestinal blockage and contains small amounts of cyanide.
- The skin is tough and can upset digestion, so peel it.
- High sugar content: too much can cause diarrhea or weight gain.
What to do if your dog ate mango
A little extra usually causes nothing worse than an upset stomach. If your dog ate a large amount, has vomiting or diarrhea, or seems unwell, call your vet.
