    Almonds

    Can dogs have almonds? I don't like them and all the good mixed nuts come with them. If dogs can't eat them i don't have a use for them at all.

    Cherokee loooooves almonds. But only raw. [:D] I've never heard of anything wrong with them.

    The only nut I have ever heard that dogs can't have is macadamia.  My dog loves almonds.

    Almonds can actually be dangerous for dogs but only bitter almonds, sweet almonds are safe.  The kernel in the pit contains cyanide.  I highly doubt you have a trail mix containing bitter almonds though, they're generally not sold for consumption. Although, bitter almond is used in many aromatherapy preparations, so you still want to be aware.
