What are the health effects of dogs eating sunflower seeds?
While most people have answered you the exact same thing, which is that they CAN have them and they SHOULD be shelled and unsalted, that is not exactly answering your question.If you are wondering if feeding your dogs sunflower seeds would be a healthy addition to their diet, I would generally say yes, but keep in mind, just like humans, what one person eats with no issues another might react poorly to it.I have two dogs, both very different. They tend to like different foods, but we do try and feed them relatively the same. They have very varied diets, compared to almost every dog we know. They get all kinds of meat and fish, fruit and veggies, grains, seeds, nuts, breads, cheese, other dairy, yogurt, rice, and various tasty not so good for them foods. They rarely have any form of pet foods, and although everyone tells us that they will get very fat, they are almost 13 and within a couple pounds of their weight when they were 2.If I had a bag of shelled seeds, I would toss a handful in their dinner every night and see if it bothers them. If I had a few unshelled and salted ones in my hand and my dog ate them, I wouldn’t even worry since they tend to eat everything and not too much bothers them. But since I do not know your dog, I cannot predict the outcome. I find testing them with new foods and keeping an eye on their poop to be the most beneficial.So what I am saying is, I find a varied and wide diet to be the most healthy thing for MY dogs, and I think it would benefit many other dogs in the world. Not all dogs can eat a wide variety of food, just like humans, so take your individual dog into account.
Why would eating sunflower seeds or nuts make me sick?

because the sunflower seeds are covered in salt and it makes you thirsty. The same thing happens to me with salted nuts. That is why I eat raw nuts, with dried fruit.

Can eating the whole shell in sunflower seeds cause apenditis?
Appendicitis is due to a fecal stone, it gets lodged in your appendix and then it starts to get infected. This is when you're either not getting enough exercise (people with desk jobs are more prone to them due to sitting all day), enough water or enough fiber in your diet. The shells are probably not being digested properly so they are scraping the walls of your intestines. You really shouldn't eat them, you could end up perforating your intestine which requires immediate medical attention.
