Can Dogs Eat Nuts?
9. Hickory Nuts
It is not recommended to give hickory nuts to your dog. While they are not necessarily toxic, hickory nuts can really upset your dogs stomach. This will cause distress to your pooch, and it may also leave you with a rather unpleasant mess to clear up.
The shells of the nuts are slightly toxic because they contain juglone. Nuts that are not completely fresh may also contain tremorgenic mycotoxins that could lead to severe problems. Hickory nuts are also very hard and might cause dental issues. The hard shells might also lead to intestinal blockages and other potentially serious problems.
