Can dogs eat nutmeg?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Avoid. Contains myristicin, which is harmful to dogs. This spice contains myristicin, a compound that can cause severe toxicity in dogs, leading to symptoms like rapid heart rate, tremors, and disorientation. Even small amounts can be dangerous, so it is best to keep all nutmeg and nutmeg-containing products away from your pet.
