How to Feed Chestnuts to Your Dog

Chestnuts are safe for dogs and are lower in fat than most other nuts. They contain vitamin C, fibre, and omega-3 fatty acids. Always cook chestnuts before feeding — raw chestnuts are hard and difficult to digest. Remove the shell completely. Cut into small pieces to prevent choking. Feed in moderation as they are starchy and can cause gas. Only sweet chestnuts are safe — horse chestnuts (conkers) are toxic to dogs.
