Can I give my dog Heartnuts?

Though they do not contain natural toxins, heartnuts are susceptible to mold growth, which can produce tremorgenic mycotoxins that may lead to seizures and neurotoxicity. Ingesting moldy heartnuts can also cause intestinal blockages and stomach upset in dogs. It is best to keep this food away from your furry friend.
