Wild mushrooms
While the types of mushrooms you purchase in the grocery store are typically safe for dogs, wild mushrooms growing in your yard or out in nature can be toxic. If you have mushrooms around your house, make sure to pull them up regularly and if you catch your dog trying to eat them in the wilderness, stop them immediately.
“Some people believe that dogs won’t eat toxic mushrooms because they can identify toxins by scent,” explained the AKC’s Anna Burke. “Unfortunately, this could not be further from the truth. Veterinarians and mushroom experts believe that wild mushroom poisoning is an under-reported cause of fatal poisoning in pets.”

Long ago, I had a couple of French Poodles, (the toy size). My nephew is a Doctor Veterinarian, knowing how I am meticulous about food, he suggest I feed my two Poodles “home food”. Being a good cook, I used to prepare a SPECIALTY for my Poodles: in a frying pan, add 4 ounces of ground meat and 6?? ounces of rice and a enough water. Mix all together and let it boil, then let simmer until the rice and meat are eatable. Then serve your dogs, usually once a day around 04:00 pm. Remember, (NO BUTTER, NO OIL, NO SALT, NO FAT) I have been doing it for years until they reached the time that I had to move to an Overseas Country, when I gave my dogs to a relative who followed my advice. I was told that both dogs surpassed their usual aging by several years and was so sorry to give them to up to be euthanized. He berried their bodies in his backyard and built a small monument. The two dogs were NEVER THICK. The only time they visited a Vet was when they had to cut their tails (usual for Poodles)
