No, giving your dog guacamole every day is not safe. Avocado itself contains persin, and the typical guacamole recipe adds onion, garlic, lime and chilli—all of which can irritate a dog’s stomach or cause more serious toxicity. Daily exposure can lead to chronic gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis over time. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, or a lack of energy, and if any of these appear, schedule a vet visit.
