Can dogs eat macadamia nuts?

Why

Toxic to dogs. Even a few nuts can cause weakness and tremors. These nuts contain a toxin that affects a dog's nervous system and muscles, leading to symptoms like shaking and an inability to walk properly. The danger exists regardless of whether the nuts are raw, roasted, salted, or mixed into treats. There is no safe amount to give your dog.

Watch out for

• raw nuts
• roasted nuts
• salted nuts
• chocolate-covered macadamia nuts
• macadamia nut oil
• baked goods containing macadamia nuts
