You’ve just finished the topping of your world famous (well maybe neighborhood famous) eggnog. A little sprinkling of nutmeg and you’ll be out delivering jugs to all your buddies. Your pup has been eyeing you nonstop. Can you offer her a little sprinkle of nutmeg?

No, nutmeg is toxic to dogs. 

The good news is the amount of nutmeg that would be in something a human would eat would probably not cause a problem for your dog. She might have diarrhea or vomit, but would recover quickly. 

The issue is if your dog gets into a more significant amount of nutmeg where you will see bigger problems.

• Disorientation
  
• Increased heart rate
  
• Hallucination
  
• Increased blood pressure
  
• Dry mouth
  
• Seizures
  
• Abdominal pain

If your dog exhibits any of these symptoms after consuming nutmeg contact a vet immediately.
