You appear to be in the UK so provided you mean the kind we buy in supermarkets here, a small amount isn't a major problem - but they are fatty, so that could cause problems and they should be avoided if your dog has conditions that are irritated by fat (like pancreatitis).

But, there isn't any good reason that I'm aware of that suggests they offer any benefits. So, I guess the question is, why would you want to feed them?

Just googled the question and walnuts aren't recommended from what I found.

Walnuts are a great source of omega 3
