Why Pistachios Should Be Avoided
Pistachios are not directly toxic to dogs but are not recommended. They are very high in fat (risking pancreatitis), the shells are a choking and intestinal blockage hazard, and they can harbour Aspergillus mould which produces aflatoxins. Salted pistachios add the risk of sodium toxicity. If your dog eats a few shelled, unsalted pistachios, they should be fine, but do not offer them as regular treats.
