Vets recommend keeping all treats under 10% of daily calories. One peach slice (1/8 of a medium peach) has about 7 kcal. The chart shows the most a typical spayed or neutered adult dog could have in a day if peaches were the only treat.
| Dog weight | Daily treat budget | Max peaches per day |
|---|---|---|
| 10 lb (4.5 kg) | 35 kcal | 4.5 × peach slice (1/8 of a medium peach) |
| 20 lb (9.1 kg) | 59 kcal | 8 × peach slice (1/8 of a medium peach) |
| 40 lb (18.1 kg) | 98 kcal | 14 × peach slice (1/8 of a medium peach) |
| 60 lb (27.2 kg) | 133 kcal | 19 × peach slice (1/8 of a medium peach) |
| 80 lb (36.3 kg) | 166 kcal | 23 × peach slice (1/8 of a medium peach) |
Eating more than the recommended amount usually causes nothing worse than an upset stomach: soft stool, gas or vomiting. Skip treats for the rest of the day, keep fresh water available and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than 24 hours or your dog seems unwell.
