Can dogs safely eat store-bought mushrooms from my dinner plate?

Mushroom identification can be tricky even for experienced mushroom hunters. Your best bet would be to contact your local Extension Office and submit a sample for identification. Most species are non toxic, causing nothing worse than some stomach upset, but some species can be deadly. It would be safest to keep your pets away from them until you can positively identify them.

Hello. I am sorry that your concerns were not addressed earlier, but this is a good time to re-evaluate Delilah. If it has been several hours since her possible encounter with the mushrooms, & she is fine - no drooling, gagging, vomiting, lethargy or diarrhea - then I would not be too worried about her getting sick. Just get out there & remove all the mushrooms so you do not have to worry any more. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

These mushrooms look like "Lawyer's Wig", or shaggy ink cap mushrooms. They are edible when young. However there are poisonous lookalike mushrooms. I would not let my dog eat them as it is not proven that they are not poisonous to dogs. Watch for diarrhea, vomiting, general malaise and if you see those signs, take your dog to your veterinarian for an exam.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Potatoes are safe for dogs to eat, as long as they are cooked and given in small pieces so that dogs do not choke on them. Potatoes are high in carbs, but provide vitamins including vitamins A and C, as well as iron. Pieces of cooked potato can be given as a small snack, but should not constitute a large portion of your pet's diet. I hope this is helpful!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Both those fruits are fine. Just do not feed apple seeds. My advice is everything in moderation. Not every dog is the same and any food could cause tummy upset. I hope this helps and have a great day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am concerned that because he vomited so many times and had diarrhea, he could be very dehydrated. Also, mushrooms can result in liver toxicity in dogs that tends to be significant. Even if he vomited some of it, there is still likely some left in his system. I think it would be best to have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check some basic lab work to check for signs of liver toxicity and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi there! Superman and batman for halloween- I love it! Very cute. A small tiny bit of cooked shellfish should be okay, but I would advise against raw shellfish/fish as there are parasites and bacteria in them that could make them both sick.
