Pecans are dangerous for dogs. They contain juglone, which can cause gastrointestinal upset, and their high fat content can lead to pancreatitis. Moldy pecans may also contain tremorgenic mycotoxins, which are highly toxic.
How It Affects dogs
Juglone causes gastrointestinal irritation. Tremorgenic mycotoxins interfere with neurotransmission, leading to neurological signs. High fat content can trigger pancreatic inflammation.
Toxic Compound
Juglone, Tremorgenic mycotoxins
