Why Mushrooms (Wild) Should Be Avoided
While shop-bought mushrooms (button, chestnut, portobello) are generally safe for dogs, wild mushrooms are extremely dangerous. Many toxic species look identical to safe ones, and some can cause liver failure, seizures, or death within hours. The safest approach is to treat all wild mushrooms as toxic. If you see mushrooms growing in your garden or on walks, remove them or keep your dog away. Contact your vet immediately if you suspect mushroom ingestion.
