Why

How to serve it

Good to know

Pet Poison Helpline says the pit holds compounds that can release cyanide if chewed up, but poisoning is unlikely. The bigger worry is a blockage.

For the children

"Peaches is only a tiny treat for dogs, and only a grown-up decides how much."

A job: Be the label reader. Before a grown-up shares any food with the dog, check this page, and ask a grown-up if the food is not on it.
