Any Q

Macadamia nuts can be toxic to dogs if they eat quite a few. If your dog ate one or a part of one, they should be fine. Monitor them closely for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, and if you see any of the signs it would be best to have them seen by your veterinarian.


How many macadamia nuts does it take to hurt a dog?

Why they're bad: Not only do they have a high fat content that can irritate dogs' stomachs, but also, for unknown reasons, macadamia nuts can be toxic. According to veterinarian Justine Lee, a dose of about two nuts per pound of body weight can result in poisoning that can lead to a temporary inability to walk.

What do I do if my dog ate a macadamia nut?

If your pet eats macadamia nuts, you should contact your local veterinarian or APCC right away. Your dog will need care at a veterinary hospital if he starts shaking constantly, has a high fever or becomes unable to walk.
