Can dogs and cats eat pistachios?
Dogs
CarefulCats
CarefulA couple, shelled and unsalted, at most; usually not worth it.
Fat, salt and shells. Mold on pistachios can carry aflatoxin.
What to watch for
Vomiting, greasy stool.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
