Dogs and avocados

[the gorgon]

We have all the time of the world to Google maybe?

why is it that whenever someone here posts something knowledgeable, the knee jerk rection is to invoke the word google? i mean, there are actually people in this site who are knowledgeable in certain fields of study, and can recite information from their information banks.

There seems to be varying opinions on the internet that avocados are poisonous to dogs.  I have an avocado tree in my garden and a young dog that has just started eating the windfalls on the ground.

So far it doesn't seem to have affected him, but I'm concerned that in the long term, it might be causing damage.

Any opinions?

No such thing, unless DR dogs are immune. 2/3 of dogs in DR would be dead. Really, avocado are being wasted? you need a long pole to pick them and sell or give to neighbors. that dog might as well be eating caviar.

They're not ready yet. Most of them on the tree are the size of golf balls at the moment. But they grow to the size of grapefruits and they are round, not pear shaped.

They make delicious guacamole!

One of the healthiest foods around but a tad calorie heavy. My second most favorite thing in the DR.

They are pretty scarce in Miami at thew moment.
I think that at least some types of them are out of season.
