My 3-year-old Labrador ate a few pieces of fresh plum flesh without the pit, is it safe to give more?

Short answer

A few pieces of plum flesh without the pit are only a mild risk for your dog. The fruit flesh is fine in small, bite‑size pieces. Keep an eye for vomiting, diarrhea, or any sign of choking. If any of those appear, call your vet.
