Nuts and nut butter

Fat, choking and possible additives

Documented data setNot universally suitable; the nut type and ingredients matter.

Many nuts are high in fat and can contribute to gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis. Macadamia is toxic. Nut butter may contain xylitol, salt or other problematic additives.

What now?

No macadamia, no salted or seasoned nuts, and always check ingredients for xylitol. Ask a veterinarian if the dog has a medical condition.
