How to give mushrooms safely

Plain store-bought mushrooms are generally safe; wild mushrooms can be deadly — never let your dog forage.

How much and how to prepare

Keep it to small, occasional amounts, served plain. Remove any pits, seeds, cores, skins, bones, shells or added seasoning first, and introduce it gradually.

Who should avoid it

Puppies, seniors, small breeds and dogs with health conditions should have only tiny amounts, or skip it. When unsure, check with your vet.

What about their everyday food?

Treats are only part of the picture — your dog's main diet matters most. Paste your dog food's ingredients into the WoofScore checker to see how it grades A–F.
