are pecans bad for dogs

Pecans are generally considered bad and potentially toxic for dogs. They contain a toxin called juglone and are prone to mold (such as aspergillus) that produces harmful aflatoxins, which can cause serious health issues in dogs. Pecans are also very high in fat, which can lead to pancreatitis, vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, and other severe symptoms. Even one moldy pecan can be harmful to dogs, and while a dog might tolerate one or two non-moldy pecans, it is safest to avoid feeding pecans to dogs altogether. If a dog eats pecans, it is recommended to contact a veterinarian immediately for advice and possible treatment.
