Can cats or dogs eat cashew nuts?

cat: should be careful · dog: should be careful — For dogs, the AKC says cashews are generally not toxic — a few once in a while is fine, but they're very high in fat, so frequent snacking risks weight gain and pancreatitis. Store-bought cashews are usually salted, which risks salt toxicity, and watch out for mixed nuts containing macadamias, which are strongly toxic to dogs. For cats, no major veterinary source has weighed in. Plain unsalted cashews only, a few at a time. If your dog eats mixed nuts that may contain macadamias, contact your vet immediately.
