Coconuts

Question:
Are coconuts ok for dogs?
One of the dogs found one. She has been playing with it and chewing on it, so I hope they're not poisonous.
Does anyone know?
I think they're edible for people.

Answer:
Did you take it away? I'm not sure if the shell part is harmful or not..

Answer:
I did take it away from her; and still have not been able to find out if they're o.k.
So if anyone knows; please do tell.

The neighbors have a coconut palm; so she always goes for them when she's outside. They would make cheap toys!!

Answer:
Hi!

Good Luck!

Answer:
Uhh... How does a blog show it's safe?

I think you should call the ASPCA poison control and ask them:

Answer:
I called the phone number listed at the aspca poison control and the Dr. there said there should be no problem.

Congrats!

Answer:
Carefull they do not choke on the shaving thingys around the coconut. I life up north where coconuts are non existing but I've been on vacation before and know they have them peely-shaving things around them so just make sure your dog doesn't peel them off and choke on them or swallow them and get constipated.

Answer:
Thank you all for your replies.
I am glad they are o.k. for dogs.
Amira really likes them. She just likes to destroy them, I think.
But it's better than destroying brand new toys in 10 minutes.

Answer:
Did you call the ASPCA number yourself?
