Hey there! Great question, and definitely not a dumb one. It's so important to know what's safe for Max to munch on. As for pecans, it's best to keep them out of Max's reach. They're not toxic like chocolate or grapes, but they can be harmful. Pecans can cause gastrointestinal upset, like vomiting or diarrhea, and can also pose a choking hazard or lead to intestinal blockages, especially in small dogs. Plus, if they're moldy, they can contain tremorgenic mycotoxins, which could cause seizures or tremors.
If Max accidentally eats a small bit, he might be okay, but here’s what you should watch for:
In the event of mild tummy upset, you can withhold food for a few hours to let his stomach rest and then offer a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice. Make sure he has plenty of water to stay hydrated. If you notice any of the more serious symptoms like severe vomiting, seizures, or if Max just seems really off, it’s definitely time to call the vet.
Any signs of breathing difficulty, repeated vomiting, or seizures warrant immediate veterinary attention. Better safe than sorry!
You're doing a wonderful job taking care of Max by asking questions and looking out for him. If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
