If in doubt, always call your vet or the Animal Poison Line immediately.

Why It's Dangerous

Peanuts themselves are not toxic to dogs, but salted varieties add a meaningful sodium load, and peanuts in general carry a risk of aflatoxin-producing mould if they've gone stale.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Excessive thirst if a large salted amount was eaten
  • Lethargy or jaundice if mould/aflatoxin is involved

Vet Guidance

Monitor for digestive upset. Contact your vet if a large amount of salted peanuts was eaten or signs of jaundice develop.
