Guacamole: Safe for Dogs and Cats?

Guacamole should not be offered to dogs. Recipes commonly combine high-fat avocado with onion, garlic, salt, lime, or hot peppers, so the actual ingredient list determines how concerning an exposure is.

Guacamole is not suitable for cats because recipes commonly contain onion, garlic, salt, citrus, or spices in addition to avocado. Check the ingredients and contact a veterinarian if an allium is present.
