Is ACORN Toxic to Dogs and Cats?

Yes, ACORN is toxic to pets. ACORN refers to the nut produced by oak trees. These nuts are typically found on the ground in areas where oak trees are prevalent, such as forests, parks, and residential yards. Acorns can pose a safety concern for pets, particularly dogs, and cats if ingested. They contain tannins and potentially other toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress, liver damage, and other health issues. It's advisable to prevent pets from consuming acorns and seek veterinary care if they do.
