Macadamia nuts can be toxic to dogs, so it’s important to act quickly. Here’s what you should do:

1. Contact your veterinarian or animal poison control immediately.

• Veterinarian: This is the quickest way to get professional advice specific to your dog’s situation.
• Animal Poison Control: If your veterinarian is unavailable, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or the Pet Poison Helpline at (800) 213-6680. There may be a consultation fee for this service.

2. Provide information about your dog.
   • Tell them your dog’s breed, weight, and how many macadamia nuts you believe they ate.
   • Also mention how long ago you think they ingested the nuts.
3. Follow your veterinarian or animal poison control center’s instructions.
   • They may advise you to induce vomiting at home, but only do this if instructed by a professional.
   • Otherwise, they will likely recommend taking your dog to a veterinary clinic for treatment.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• The amount of macadamia nuts ingested will affect the severity of the reaction.
• Symptoms of macadamia nut poisoning in dogs can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, tremors, and fever.
• Early intervention is key to minimizing risks.
