Paws Off! The Dangerous Foods You Must Avoid for Your Pets

12. Wild Mushrooms: Cats and Dogs

There are countless varieties of mushrooms, and while many are safe to eat, a few are toxic to both humans and pets. The level of toxicity can vary widely, with some being extremely dangerous. Distinguishing between safe and harmful mushrooms is challenging, especially since they thrive in warm, moist conditions.

When you're out walking your dog, keep them away from any wild mushrooms, as they can't tell which ones are safe. Ingesting toxic mushrooms can negatively impact an animal's central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, and liver.
