Asparagus

Non-toxic In Moderation

Risks:

Choking Hazard

Plain asparagus is non-toxic and safe for dogs to eat in moderation. It's low in calories and contains vitamins A, B6 and C, as well as fiber. However, the tough, fibrous texture makes it difficult for dogs to chew properly, posing a choking or obstruction risk, especially the spear tips. Cooking softens it but reduces nutrients. Best to cut in small pieces.

Please Note: I'm not a veterinarian or dietician.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
