Dogs can eat plums. However, it’s important to consider the possible risks involved. Just like with dates and cherries, the main concern is with the pits, which can be sharp and easily damage your pet’s esophagus, stomach, or intestines.

There’s also a risk of the pit obstructing the intestinal tract, especially in smaller dogs.

If you notice your dog is vomiting but can’t pinpoint the cause, check and make sure plums weren’t left in their reach. Additionally do not allow your pup to eat anything other than the flesh of the plum. Leaves, stems, and roots are all toxic to your pup. 

Plums are a delicious and healthy treat that your pup will love. However, due to the size of the pit, care must be taken not to harm your dog. If you choose to feed your dog plums, remember to remove the pits and check the flesh for mold or rotting before you give it to your pet.

As with all fruit, sugar content is a major deterrent of offering plums frequently. Fruit for dogs should be a treat.
