Hey there! Great question. Pistachios themselves aren’t toxic to dogs, but they can be tricky. The main concern is their high-fat content, which might upset Max's tummy, especially if he has a sensitive stomach or gets into a large amount. Watch out for symptoms like:
If Max only snagged a couple, he’ll probably be fine—just keep an eye on him for any of those symptoms. If he starts showing moderate symptoms like vomiting a few times or having watery diarrhea, you can withhold food for 12–24 hours (keep the water accessible!) and see if it settles. You can also offer small amounts of a bland diet, like boiled chicken and rice, once he’s feeling better.
If he’s acting normally and has no symptoms, you’re likely in the clear, but if he got into a lot, especially if they're salted or flavored, or he shows severe symptoms like continued vomiting or difficulty breathing, call your vet. They can advise you on what to do next or if he needs to come in.
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
