Plain-English summary
A 9-year-old male schnauzer was brought to the vet after eating peanuts and experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, skin redness, itchy hives, and eye irritation. The vet determined that these symptoms were due to an allergic reaction. After treatment with prednisolone and antihistamines, the dog's symptoms improved quickly. This case highlights that dogs can have allergic reactions to peanuts, which is something pet owners should be aware of.

Abstract
A 9-year-old, spayed male schnauzer dog was presented with vomiting, diarrhea, generalized erythema, pruritic urticaria and conjunctival hyperemia after ingestion of peanut. The history, clinical signs, and histopathology of the lesions were compatible with a hypersensitivity reaction. The clinical signs resolved rapidly after treatment with prednisolone and antihistamine. This is the first report of urticaria caused by peanut ingestion in a dog.
