<p>Yoshi,</p>
<p>It's usually a good idea to consider all nuts as bad for dogs. Depending upon the size and age of the dog, as few as 6 macadamia nuts may be fatal.</p>
<p>Walnuts (especially those found on the ground) can be toxic (thanks to a mold that grows on their shells).</p>
<p>Peanuts are not really nuts and thus are generally considered safe, though it's probably best to use them in moderation. Because of chemicals used in growing the peanuts, it's probably also best to avoid feeding your dog raw peanuts in the shell. Stick to peanut butter.</p>
<p>While lists such as the ones in this thread are a good starting point, it's best to consult with your vet before giving any food from the human menu to your animal friends</p>
