Hi there! First off, no worries—it's definitely not a dumb question. It's awesome that you're looking out for Max's well-being! Let's chat about pistachios. While pistachios aren't toxic to dogs like chocolate or grapes, they're not the best treat for them either. They're high in fat and can potentially cause stomach upset or even pancreatitis in sensitive pups. Plus, the shells can be a choking hazard or cause blockages.
If Max happened to nibble on a few shelled pistachios, he might be just fine, but keep an eye out for these signs:
If you notice any of these symptoms, especially if they persist or worsen, it might be time to check in with a vet. However, if he just had a couple and seems okay, you can monitor him at home. Make sure he has access to plenty of water and is comfortable.
Definitely get in touch with a vet if you notice any severe symptoms like continuous vomiting, difficulty breathing, or signs of a blockage (like severe abdominal pain or repeated unproductive vomiting).
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.

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
