About Avocado
Avocado is sometimes included in pet foods or oils as a source of palatable monounsaturated fats, some fiber, and fat‑soluble vitamins like A and E, which can help support skin and coat condition and provide concentrated energy for dogs and cats. However, the fruit contains persin (more concentrated in leaves, skin and the pit) and is high in fat, so large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible animals, and the pit presents a choking/obstruction hazard; commercial formulations typically use controlled amounts or purified oil rather than whole fruit.
