Can Dogs Eat Walnuts?

🌰
⚠ Caution — Low Risk

Can contain toxic mould. Black walnuts are dangerous.

Why Walnuts Should Be Avoided

Walnuts pose several risks for dogs. English walnuts are not inherently toxic but are very high in fat and can cause pancreatitis. More dangerously, walnuts are highly susceptible to black mould (Aspergillus niger) which produces tremorgenic mycotoxins that can cause seizures. Black walnuts (common in North America) are directly toxic. Mouldy walnuts found on the ground are the most dangerous. Keep dogs away from walnut trees.
