Can my dog eat Cashews?

🥜

Occasional plain cashews are okay — but high in fat.

⚠️ CAUTION

Cashews are not toxic to dogs and are lower in fat than macadamia nuts. Plain, unsalted cashews can be given occasionally as a treat. However, they are high in calories and fat, which can cause weight gain and pancreatitis with regular feeding. Never give salted, seasoned, or mixed nut varieties.

Symptoms to watch for:

excessive: pancreatitisobesity
🐕

Note for medium dogs (20–60 lbs)

2–3 plain cashews as a very occasional treat.
