Why do dogs die after eating avocados?
Although there are avocado-based dog foods on sale, they have been extracted repeatedly. If we feed avocados directly to dogs, the cardiovascular toxin "persin" contained in them may cause poisoning symptoms in dogs. Moreover, the glyceric acid contained in avocado is not easily digested by dogs, so it is best not to feed avocados to dogs.
