7. Walnuts

Walnuts are a popular treat at Christmas time for the whole family and your dog will just love them as well. No matter how much your dog might beg for some walnuts, however, you really should try to avoid giving them any. Walnuts present the same health issues as other nuts for dogs, while they can also have a more severe effect.

Walnuts are a source of tremorgenic mycotoxins, which are compounds that are toxic to dogs and can cause them to go into seizures. While it is not certain that your four-legged friend will develop problems, it is definitely a good idea to play it on the safe side.
