Can Dogs Eat Pistachios?

Dogs should not eat pistachios. Pistachios are a type of nut with a relatively high fat content, and dogs have a weak ability to metabolize fat, so long-term feeding can easily damage the liver and kidneys and may cause pancreatitis, gastroenteritis and other diseases.

Moreover, pistachios can easily get stuck in a dog’s throat and may cause choking. Finally, commercially sold pistachio products usually go through multiple processing steps and contain large amounts of salt and additives, which can negatively affect a dog’s health.
