Is it harmful if my dog eats cherry flesh?

Cherry flesh is quite harmful to dogs, because cherries contain propyl sulfonate and dodecahydrate cherry-acid compounds that damage the intestinal lining and cause diarrhea and vomiting, and in severe cases can make the dog vomit blood or even die.

Also, cherries contain a fair amount of minerals and potassium, which add to the kidney burden after the dog eats them.

So owners should best avoid giving dogs cherries, and instead feed fruits like apples or bananas that will not harm them.
