24. Cherries pits, apple seeds
Humans have an instinctive reflex to spit out a cherry pit, but we can’t expect the same from a dog or cat, who might just swallow the cherry in its entirety! The problem lies in the fact that their pits, stems, and leaves contain cyanide, a natural enzyme that prevents cells from getting oxygen.

What happens if your pet eats it? Swallowing a single cherry pit won’t give your dog cyanide poisoning, but it could create a blockage in its digestive system. But ingesting a large amount can lead to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, as well as more serious health problems such as breathing difficulties, heart problems, and, in severe cases, death.
