Ask the Pet Doctor
Question:
Can my dog have nuts? If so which ones ?
A: Most nuts can cause some GI irritation in most dogs, however there are some nuts I would avoid.
The most toxic nut is the Macademia nut. Cashews, Walnuts, and Almonds should all be avoided. Plain peanuts and pecans should be OK.
I would recommend not feeding your dog any nuts because of the high fat content. Too much fat at one time can overload the pancreas and lead to pancreatitis.
