Here’s what to do if your dog ate an almond in the United States:
Assess the amount:
One or two almonds: If your dog is a medium or large breed and only consumed one or two almonds, they likely won’t experience any problems. Monitor them for the next 24 hours for any concerning signs (see below).
More than a few almonds: If your dog is a small breed or consumed a significant amount of almonds (more than a few), it’s best to call your veterinarian for guidance.
Monitor for signs:
Gastrointestinal issues: Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. These are common signs of indigestion caused by almonds.
Obstruction: If your dog seems lethargic, has a distended abdomen, or struggles to poop, they might have an intestinal obstruction. This is a serious condition and requires immediate veterinary attention.
Contact your veterinarian:
Call your veterinarian for advice if you’re unsure about the amount of almonds ingested, your dog’s breed size, or if they show any concerning signs.
Vets can advise on inducing vomiting (within 30 minutes of ingestion) or recommend the best course of action for your dog.
