Why Pecans Should Be Avoided
Pecans are risky for dogs. Like walnuts, they are susceptible to a mould that produces tremorgenic mycotoxins, which can cause neurological symptoms including seizures and tremors. They also contain juglone, a compound toxic to dogs. Their high fat content increases the risk of pancreatitis. Mouldy pecans found on the ground are the most dangerous. Keep dogs away from pecan trees and dispose of shells securely.
