About NECTARINE
A nectarine is a type of stone fruit closely related to the peach, characterized by its smooth skin. It is found in grocery stores, farmers' markets, and orchards. While the flesh of the nectarine is generally safe for cats and dogs in small amounts, the pit, leaves, and stems contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide and are toxic to pets. Ingestion of these parts can lead to breathing difficulties, panting, shock, and in severe cases, death. Always remove the pit and offer only the fruit's flesh in moderation to ensure safety.
