| How many is a lot? I don't believe they are dangerous to dogs in moderation since many dog treats have peanut butter in them but call your vet just to be safe. |

| Peanuts can be harmful if your dog is allergic to them, much like humans. In most dogs, it shouldn't be a concern. I have birds and my dogs are constantly stealing peanut shells and eating them. We also give them an occasional peanut with no ill effects. |

OK....as to the peanuts...I would call my vet to be on the safe side, but I doubt it will be a problem.

| She had maybe 10 or 15 and not sure if my westie helped her or not. I doubt he did. She LOVES them. I had just got home from grocery shopping and she got into the bag.

| I can imagine a sunflower seed could do it. They're pointed at the end. We give Floyd, our M2, almonds, brazil nuts and walnuts in season. I constantly police his cage area when feeding those because of sharp shell pieces. The only nuts (not shells) that I've heard of being harmful to dogs are walnuts and macadamia nuts. I think macadamia nuts are the most toxic. Of course, being allergic to anything would make it dangerous. |

| Molly ate a handful of dry roasted peanuts earlier this year, and was fine, but it will depend if your pup has a nut allergy. As someone has already said, i would phone the vet for advice. Really hope all will be ok.

| Just sat down at my 'puter and your thread was one of the first that I read. I am so glad that you contacted your vet and everything seems ok. Now we can ALL rest better. It is amazing how much we worry about our little Inet fur friends. I would imagine that she will have some odd poops for the next few days. |

| LOL, lots of fiber in those peanuts and shells! That's going to clear out those anal glands.
