Sorcha Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) So Nola stole a chestnut, I watched her as she licked it, then nibbled it, and then cracked it open. I took it away, she is very upset with me. Is it okay for her to eat the "meat" inside? She really, really wants it. Edit: Sorry, subject line is wrong! It's a chestnut.

Greytlady94 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Chestnuts aren't toxic although too many might cause tummy problems.

Guest sirsmom Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I eat nuts every day and dogs get a couple, too. I never had any problems. The only ones I know of to be toxic are macadamias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happygrey Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Bentley (and his amazing chewing) has cracked open a couple of black walnuts that have fallen in our yard. (Our yard is ringed with them -- they're probably nearly 100 years old.) He's eaten the meat without any problem. It's unbelievable to me that he's able to get these open! If I were to try it, I'd need a hammer. He also found a chestnut when we went on one of our park walks but he wasn't as interested in eating it as the walnuts -- but he did like to chew on it. I think that moderation is probably key. Too many of them might bother their tummies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
