Can dogs eat Almonds or Cashews?
Feed with caution
Small amounts only, and not right for every pet.
Almonds and cashews are not primary pet foods. They are high in fat and can cause stomach upset or choking.
Before you feed it
- Avoid salted, flavored, chocolate-coated, or xylitol-sweetened nuts
- High fat can upset the stomach
- Whole nuts can be choking hazards
How much is safe
Not recommended; tiny unsalted piece only if needed
