Can cats or dogs eat almonds?
Cats: Caution · Dogs: Caution — The ASPCA classifies almonds as nuts high in fat and oil. If you eat it you can vomit and have diarrhea and risk pancreatitis. Whole hard pellets also pose a risk of getting stuck in the esophagus or blocking the intestines in small breed dogs and cats. Baked with salt or coated with extra flavor should not be given. Eat two tablets and watch for symptoms. If you eat a lot, vomit repeatedly, or don't poop, take them to the veterinarian.
