My dog ate half a mango, including the skin and pit. What should I do?

Short answer

This is a mild risk. Mango flesh is okay, but the skin can cause irritation and the pit is a choking and blockage hazard. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of abdominal pain. Contact your regular vet if you notice any of these symptoms.
