Some People Foods Are Safe for Your Dog, Others Aren't

14. Cashews in moderation

Cashews are generally safe for dogs to eat. These nuts have a lot of protein packed into them; they are also high in fat and calories. Some dogs that are prone to weight gain, and even those that are of average weight, should be strictly limited to the number of cashews they're fed. If you want your pooch to enjoy a few cashews every now and then, be sure they are cooked. Raw cashews contain a toxic resin called urushiol that can be harmful to your pet. This is the same toxin found in poison ivy.
