Can I give almond to my dog?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

The answer is no. Almonds—like many other nuts—contain many toxins that aren't harmful to people but can be particularly detrimental to dogs when consumed in large doses. Unprocessed bitter almonds are the most dangerous for dogs—consuming as few as seven of them can be fatal.


Can a dog safely eat almonds?

But, can dogs eat almonds? The answer is no. While they aren't as toxic as some nuts, it's one of those foods canine companions can't digest as easily as people.

What does almond do to dogs?

Properly processed almonds are not directly toxic to your dog but the canine system does not properly digest the proteins in nuts. Eating large quantities of almonds, whether all at once or frequent smaller amounts given regularly, can cause gastrointestinal distress, obesity, and pancreatitis.
