No! Pecans aren’t safe for your dog especially when they become moldy. Moldy pecans contain tremorgenic mycotoxins that can lead to seizures or neurological issues. Also, nuts of any kind can give your dog an upset stomach or cause an intestinal obstruction leading to more serious digestive issues. Call your vet if your dog has eaten pecans.
