Food · Can my pet eat this?
Can dogs and cats eat almonds, walnuts and other nuts?
Also covers: pecans, pistachios, cashews
DogsOnly with care
Nuts are very fatty and can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and possibly pancreatitis. Salted or flavoured nuts are worse.
CatsOnly with care
Same concerns as for dogs.
If your pet ate some: A few plain nuts are rarely an emergency. Macadamias are the exception: call your vet.
