Can cats or dogs eat nectarines?

Cats: Caution · Dogs: Caution — Nectarines are the same plant as the peach (Prunus persica), except they are smooth-skinned and hairless. The flesh of the ripe fruit is eaten in small quantities after the seeds have been removed. But according to the ASPCA about peaches (Prunus persica), the stems, leaves, stems, and seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides that are highly toxic to dogs and cats. Especially when the leaves wither. Always remove all the seeds before eating. (Nectarines are the same plant as peaches, Prunus persica. Information from the ASPCA peach page.) If a pet bites or swallows a nectarine seed, or chewing the leaves/twigs of the tree Seek immediate veterinary attention or call ASPCA Animal Poison Control, as cyanide poisoning acts quickly and can be life-threatening.
