- Not a substitute for professional veterinary help.
Maybe. Some tree nuts are toxic to dogs. Almonds are not poisonous to dogs, but they can be difficult to digest. A few unroasted, unseasoned almonds are unlikely to cause harm. However, you should not make a habit of feeding nuts to your dog. They are high in fat, and dogs are unlikely to obtain the nutritional benefits of nuts. Mouldy nuts can be poisonous to dogs, causing neurological damage, so make sure to only feed them fresh nuts.
Symptoms
If your dog eats a significant amount of almonds, seek veterinary care if you notice the following symptoms:
- Upset stomach
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Loss of appetite
