Guacamole is a mashed avocado dip often mixed with lime, salt, and seasonings. It is high in fat and may contain alliums such as onion or garlic that are toxic to pets. Avoid feeding guacamole and keep dips away from pets.
Guacamole is usually made from mashed avocado with lime juice, salt, cilantro, tomatoes, and hot peppers. Some versions include onion or garlic, and store-bought tubs may add preservatives. Texture ranges from smooth to chunky.
It is served with chips, tacos, and burritos, and it is often left in bowls during meals. The high fat and salt are heavy for pets, and alliums such as onion or garlic are unsafe. Keep dips covered and spills cleaned up.
Restaurant guacamole may add jalapeno, cumin, or extra salt. Some versions use a premixed base or avocado oil. Pits and skins are often nearby during prep and can be tempting.
