Yorkshire Terrier + Avocado

Caution — requires monitoring.

The verdict

Even though avocado toxicity is generally considered moderate ('YELLOW'), a small 6lb Yorkshire Terrier is more vulnerable to the effects of Persin due to its small body mass. This means even a small amount could potentially cause more pronounced gastrointestinal upset compared to a larger dog.

Watch for these signs (next 12 hours)

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Lethargy

Recommended next steps

Monitor your Yorkshire Terrier closely for any of the listed symptoms over the next 12 hours. Contact your veterinarian immediately for advice, as they may recommend a check-up or specific supportive care given your dog's small size. Do not attempt to induce vomiting without explicit instruction from your vet.
