Is Peach Reliance toxic to dogs?

Prunus persica 'Reliance'

Toxic to dogs

Yes — peach reliance is toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any dog that chews plants; reactions can be significant. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA lists Prunus (peach/plum group) as toxic to cats, dogs, and horses. Leaves, stems, and the stone/kernel contain cyanogenic glycosides that release cyanide on chewing, causing panting, dilated pupils, brick-red gums, and shock. The ripe flesh is not toxic — the danger is pits and wilted foliage.

What to do if your dog ate peach reliance

  1. Remove any plant material from your dog's mouth and move peach reliance out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of peach reliance to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
