Yes, the risk comes from what's mixed into the acai bowl, not the berry itself. Common toppings like chocolate, grapes, or sweeteners containing xylitol are highly toxic to dogs. Even a small amount of xylitol can cause a life-threatening drop in blood sugar. Watch for signs like vomiting, lethargy, stumbling, or seizures in the next few hours. If you know any dangerous ingredients were in the bowl, or if your dog shows any unusual signs, call your vet right away.
