Any tree nut really isn't good for them because they are indigestible. They can trigger stuff like pancreatitis (if the dog is predisposed that way). I had a pom/peke mix and just ONE PIECE would send her into a pancreatic attack and man, she loved them *sigh*.
Watch for vomiting/diarreha and particularly if it's bloody ... vet NOW. Be very very careful in coming days not to give anything fatty.
If the dog just plain acts "not itself" ... that is honestly enough excuse to go to the vet and ASK for a blood panel broad enough to show amylase and lipase (the ratio of those two is often a big huge clue to pancreatitis).
In my experience (and I'm NOT a vet) pancreatitis would be your biggest risk here -- they aren't toxic. Just undigestible.
