If the pear you gave your dog was just the flesh and you removed the core and seeds, it’s generally safe. The fruit itself is low risk, but the seeds contain cyanide compounds that can be harmful in larger amounts. Watch your dog for any vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of abdominal discomfort. If any of those symptoms develop, give your vet a call.
