What happens if a dog eats durian?
Dogs can eat durian, but not in excess. First, durian is high in sugar and fat, which burdens the dog's digestive system; too much can easily cause indigestion symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort. Second, durian can easily make a dog 'heat up' internally, which may cause more eye discharge and severe tear stains. In addition, durian's strong smell and taste may make many dogs uncomfortable, leading them to refuse it or show sneezing and drooling. Finally, some dogs may be allergic to durian components, triggering itchy skin, rashes, or other allergic symptoms.

Some dogs are allergic to seafood—watch for itching, rash, breathing trouble, vomiting, diarrhea, and see a vet if so.
