Can my dog eat almonds?بادام
A little.
One or two plain, unsalted, crushed nuts at most — better skipped. Almonds aren't toxic, but they're fatty, hard to digest and a choking or blockage risk for small dogs.
Thinking of giving it?
How much is fineBetter skipped. If at all, one or two unsalted, crushed.
WhyHigh fat can upset the stomach and, in a big helping, trigger pancreatitis. Whole nuts are the wrong shape for a small dog's throat and gut, and salted or masala nuts add salt. Walnuts and macadamias are a different, worse story.
Already ate it?
If they ate itA few nuts: watch at home. A handful or more, or a small dog that swallowed them whole: call your vet today. Don't make them vomit unless a vet tells you to.
Watch forVomiting, diarrhoea, a sore belly or not eating — usually within 1–2 days. Repeated vomiting with a hunched back can mean pancreatitis or a blockage.
