For vit e, manganese, magnesium, B6 and extra protein and variety, if walnuts are safe for dogs, why not sometimes sprinkle a tsp of ground walnuts on a healthy 44 pound standard poodle’s food?
I do the same with sunnies and pumpkin seeds, all raw, no salt and ground. Is raw best? Maybe she gets some ground flax or sunflower or pumpkin seeds or walnuts or almonds in about 1/6 of her meals (so 1/3 or if you count a tsp of salt free sugarless peanut butter, 1/2 of the total days. ) I eat nuts and Seeds every day. She is active and doing fine

In reply to Vicki Bell. Hi Vicki. Acorn poisoning is rare, but that’s because most dogs don’t eat them. I think if a dog eats enough acorns they will certainly develop kidney damage and possibly also liver injury. It’s a shame your dog is showing interest. The risk is even greater if there is any mould, as it’s a rare mouldy item that is not poisonous.

Thanks for your article, it weas excellent. I do have 1 question, it relates to oak trees and acorns. We have a huge oak tree that dominates our 1/4 acrer block, and we have a golden retriever. She is obsessed with finding acorns and eating the kernal. We have trained her as much as possible not to eat them, and I do think they disagree with her. They also get green mould if they sit on the damp ground. Are they toxic?
