● Avocados have more potassium than bananas, with 975 milligrams per avocado compared to 487 milligrams per banana.
● A single avocado tree can produce around 60 lbs. of fruit a year. Avocado trees also help prevent erosion and stabilize soil.

Even though Avacados are healthy for us humans, they are toxic to dogs:
● Avacados contain a substance called "persin," a toxin found in all parts of the avocado plant, including its flesh, but is mostly concentrated in the skin & pit.
● Even a small amount can cause tummy upset.
● Larger quantities can cause pancreatitis.
