Pistachios are another nut that is very beneficial as human food, but not so much for your dog.

And <b>your dog shouldn&#8217;t eat the shells either, because they can&#8217;t be broken down in your dog&#8217;s digestive system.

Nuts that fall from the trees (like pecans, acorns, etc.) are also subject to mold, which can also be harmful to the dog, says Dr.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_nuts_are_poisonous\"><\/span>What nuts are poisonous?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Peanuts and tree nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios, and Brazil nuts, also may contain toxic molds ( 8 , 9 ). In turn, these molds produce mycotoxins, which are toxic compounds linked to various health problems, including digestive disorders and liver tumors ( 8 , 9 , 10 ).<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_cashews_toxic_to_dogs\"><\/span>Are cashews toxic to dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, cashews are generally safe for dogs to eat.

The answer is <b>no. While they aren&#8217;t as toxic as some nuts, it&#8217;s one of those foods canine companions can&#8217;t digest as easily as people.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_pistachios_is_too_much\"><\/span>How many pistachios is too much?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is Pistachio Poisoning?
