Avocados contain healthy fats and a range of nutrients that can be beneficial in small amounts.
Risks
The skin, pit, and leaves of the avocado contain persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea in cats if consumed in large quantities.
Avocado flesh is high in calories and can lead to weight gain if fed in large amounts.
Avocado may also be mixed with other harmful ingredients such as garlic and chocolate.
Suggestions
Feed only small amounts of plain, raw avocado flesh occasionally.
Avoid the skin, pit, and any preparations that include other ingredients.
Monitor your cat for any signs of gastrointestinal distress.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
