Amazing how the same topics come up on different lists...the big Cavalier list just had this discussion last week! No, acorns are not toxic...but they can kill a dog anyway by causing blockages. Most of us with oak trees are having the same problem, and so, for once, I'm not chasing the squirrels away. My neighbors think I'm nuts, out every day picking up all the acorns I can find and throwing them over the fence for the squirrels and away from the dogs. Prayers going out (and up) from here every day and every night, too. Peggy Debra McWilliam wrote: >Does anyone know if acorns - especially the immature ones - are toxic to >dogs?
