Champignons
What are button mushrooms?
Champignons are also known as Egerlinge or Angerlinge and are one of the most cultivated mushrooms in the world. They are descended from the meadow mushrooms that grow in the wild. Mushrooms have a white or light brown cap that is connected to lamellae on the underside. They grow in dark rooms and are available all year round.
Are mushrooms healthy for dogs?
Mushrooms have many healthy ingredients that are also good for dogs. They consist of 91 percent water and are therefore very low in calories. They also contain a lot of protein, which is important for your dog's muscles and coat. Mushrooms are also rich in vitamins, especially the B group and vitamin D, as well as minerals such as iron, potassium, zinc and magnesium. These nutrients can support liver and kidney function, stabilize blood sugar, lower cholesterol and strengthen the immune system.
How should you prepare mushrooms for your dog?
If you want to feed your dog mushrooms from time to time, there are a few things you should bear in mind. Firstly, you should only buy fresh mushrooms that have no spots or bruises. Secondly, you should not feed the mushrooms raw, but always cook or fry them. Raw mushrooms are difficult to digest and can cause gastrointestinal problems. You should also cut the mushrooms into small pieces and only add a small amount to your dog's normal food. Mushrooms are not a meat substitute for dogs and should only be fed in moderation.
What are the risks of mushrooms for dogs?
Mushrooms are not generally poisonous for dogs, but there are some risks that you should be aware of. Firstly, some dogs may be allergic or intolerant to mushrooms. When you give your dog mushrooms for the first time, you should therefore observe his reaction.
Secondly, there is a risk of confusion with poisonous mushrooms, especially if you pick mushrooms in the forest yourself. There are many types of mushrooms that look similar to button mushrooms but can be deadly for dogs. You should therefore only feed your dog mushrooms that you have bought in the supermarket or that you can identify with certainty. You should also discourage your dog from eating or sniffing mushrooms when walking in the forest.
Mushrooms are healthy mushrooms that are also suitable for dogs. They contain many important nutrients that can promote your dog's well-being. However, you should take a few precautions if you want to feed your dog mushrooms. Only buy fresh mushrooms, boil or fry them beforehand and only give them in small quantities as an addition to your dog's normal food. Avoid raw mushrooms and don't mix them up with poisonous mushrooms from the forest. If your dog is allergic or intolerant to mushrooms, you should remove them from his diet completely.
