Are sunflower seeds...

...good for dogs?

Lexi loves them, but I'm afraid if I give her too many, that she'll get sick. Also, what about nuts and peanuts liek cashews and stuff. Are those ok?

Just that, otherwise, I'm ok with what I'm giving her. She doesn't get sick after or anything but I just want to make sure as a concerned Mom always does!

Bump?

Sorry, I have no idea! My dogs got into a bag of birdseed with sunflowers the other day and loved it!

I looked it up and from what I can see unsalted is ok...I saw there were several organic dog foods made with unsalted cashews and sunflower seeds

Well.....we eat the salted ones, and she loved them. What does the salt do to her?

[GraciesMommy]

Now that I don't know..lol Probably the same as it does for us..just plain not good to have too much but I LOVE salt..
and use sea salt on everything. Just what I read said "unsalted"..maybe they are just saying that cuz its healthier?

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Yea, unsalted would probably be better than salted, just because too much sodium isn't good for dogs...
