Dogs can eat dried apricots but only in moderation and with caution. The dried apricots should be free of pits and stems, as these contain toxic cyanide. Because dried apricots have a concentrated sugar content, they should be given sparingly to avoid stomach upset or diarrhea. It is also important to avoid dried apricot mixes that may contain toxic ingredients like raisins or macadamia nuts. Fresh apricots without seeds or stems are generally a safer option for dogs. Always cut dried apricots into small pieces and monitor your dog while they eat to avoid choking hazards.
