Any Q

Almond poisoning can cause gastrointestinal distress, obesity and pancreatitis. Be particularly careful if your pantry contains any unprocessed bitter almonds. Consuming as few as seven of these nuts can be fatal for your dog.


What do I do if my dog ate almonds?

If your dog consumes one or two almonds, don't panic. Instead, watch him carefully for signs of intestinal distress or obstruction. If your dog devours more than a few almonds, call your veterinarian or local emergency veterinarian for professional advice.

How toxic are almonds 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.
