It's possible, but not probable. There are some toxins in an avocado pit and in the skin, and also in the leaves and bark of the plant itself. But birds are the animal group most "at risk" from them. It is possible that an animal could have an allergic reaction to this fruit (technically a berry), and that included people. It' probably a good idea to dispose of the seeds so the dogs can't get to them, just in case.

Avocados are fine for dogs to eat and is actually very good for their skin, giving them a shiny coat. However, it is high in fat and dogs can get fat if they eat too much avocados.

No!!!

Per the AKC and other resources:

...”Avocados contain persin, a fungicidal toxin, which can cause serious health problems — even death — in many animals. ... Persin is present in the avocado fruit, pits, leaves, and the actual plant, so all of these parts are potentially poisonous to your dog.”

Avocado, avocado oil or any avocado product is very bad for dogs. Like chocolate, grapes and some others, it affects them in a permanent and dangerous way.

Can you eat part of an avocado seed?

If you gently roast it, the bitterness goes away and the toasted "nut" tastes very much like a peanut. Here in the San Francisco Bay area we have Bay Trees, the source of the bay leaf used in seasoning. The fruit is identical in structure to the avocado. It is smaller with a very thin layer of yellow green flesh. . .much the likeness of the Pinkerton avocado. The original residents of the area, the Indians, harvested the Bay fruit and roasted it as a regular part of their diet.
