Dangerous for your dog?
Like in the bell house of an apple, there are also seeds in a pear. These seeds contain the same raw materials for hydrocyanic acid. This substance is released when biting on the seeds. For a dog this substance is very poisonous and dangerous, the oxygen uptake in organs is reduced. The brain and heart are extra sensitive to this substance, your dog can get short of breath and become in a coma which eventually can lead to death. A piece of pear itself is no problem for a dog. Make sure there is no trace of seeds in the piece of pear you want to give to your dog.
