Can dogs eat almonds?

No. While almonds aren’t considered as toxic to dogs as other nuts, such as macadamia nuts, they can be a choking hazard.

When swallowed whole or not chewed well, almonds can block the esophagus or potentially cause damage to your dog’s windpipe. Salted almonds are even worse since they can cause water retention—a potentially fatal issue for dogs with heart disease.

Suspect your dog has ingested a potentially poisonous substance? Call your vet or phone animal poison control at (888) 426-4435. A consultation fee may apply.
