Is it safe for my dog to eat chicken or beef cooked in avocado oil?

Hi, thabks for using PetCoach! I would avoid cooking oil. Every dog is different on how they handle extra fat. It can cause pancreatitis or GI upset. If you are interested in something to help the coat I would recommend an Omega 3 fish oil like the one in the link below.

I would not have any concerns about avocado oil in an otherwise healthy dog. You should make sure you’re giving an appropriate dose since the human version might be more concentrated - you should be able to compare the concentration to the veterinary product you intended to purchase.

Yes, cooked chicken meat is fine. Do not give cooked chicken bones as they will splinter when chewed and can cause damage in the stomach and intestines. I prefer to give a good quality dog food, and use a small amount of chicken for treats when training or to encourage dogs to eat.

Avocado itself isn't toxic, but does have a high fat content that may cause GI upset. It may be a good idea to replace Kylie's regular diet for a few meals with some boiled rice and chicken to help settle her stomach, especially if she has any minor vomiting or diarrhea after eating the "snack". Some dogs can have severe reactions from eating too much fat, such as pancreatitis. Signs of something more severe that warrant a trip to the vet ASAP include blood in the vomit or diarrhea, painful abdomen, bloated abdomen, attempting to vomit or defecate without results, or general distress/lethargy/loss of appetite. If you do see these signs, scheduling a vet visit ASAP is best.

No, I do not recommend giving oil and ghee to Daisy. The oil could go into her trachea leading to aspiration, and too much oil can cause pancreatitis. As for the ghee, it's not healthy for her either. It could cause her to gain excess weight. I would only feed her a commercial dog food diet, and give her puppy specific treats.

It is fine to use some of the chicken broth for flavoring on dog food. Just make sure there was no aggressive seasoning or excessive salt used. The best broth for dogs would be non seasoned or low salt broth. Also you would want to skim out the fat if there is a lot of it or let it set up in the fridge first so you can remove the larger fat layer. Giving cooked chicken is also no problem as a treat. Just make sure the majority of the diet is dog food as that is made balanced for dogs. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Even though the possibility of toxicity is minimal if you rinse/or bolied it, I would avoid to give it to your puppy. This would be quite hard to digest as well and could potentially cause gastrointestinal upset as well.
