Can my puppy eat basil safely? What are the potential health risks?

Basil isn't toxic to dogs, so it's fine to Pasha the cold basil water. She may not like the taste, however, and probably won't drink it. In addition, this will not help at all with her arthritis. Glucosamine is a good idea to give her, and you could talk to your vet about pain relief if she appears painful. I hope this helps!

Small amounts of cooked rice and some pulses can be okay to give dogs (provided that Rango does not have any food allergies and it does not cause him stomach upset).

Also try and avoid excess salt , as too much can be dangerous to his health http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/salt/

Even though the possibility of toxicity is minimal if you rinse/or bolied it, I would avoid to give it to your puppy. This would be quite hard to digest as well and could potentially cause gastrointestinal upset as well.

The answer is controversial. Spinach is high in some nutrients, but also high in oxalates, which in sufficient amounts, can block the absorption of calcium and can lead to kidney damage. Most experts agree a dog would have to eat a lot for this to happen, but there is no definitive amount or answer as to how much is too much. Dogs don't require vegetables, but they do sometimes enjoy them. I would ask the advice of your vet about feeding your dog spinach. If they don't have a problem with it, you will have to prepare it especially for your dog for him to obtain the most benefit from it. It should be chopped fine, since dogs intestines are not made to process vegetable matter the same way we are. It should be steamed with nothing added to it at all, no salt, spices, or butter. Boiled spinach has lost much of its nutrition, and raw spinach is too hard for them to digest. Small, infrequent amounts are okay, only if your dog's kidneys are healthy.

A small amount of plain bread should not be harmful. The risk comes if raw dough or bread containing raisins, garlic or onions is eaten. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Yes, as she only ate one she'll be fine. She would need to eat much more to make her sick. Please try to keep human food away from Bella as it can give her an upset stomach or diarrhea. Chocolate is the worst toxicity as dogs love chocolate, but grapes or raisins can cause kidney failure so please be careful with those things also.

Hello. By itself, I do not think there is any concern feeding turmeric milk to your puppy, but some kinds will have different amounts of sweeteners & herbs in them. Not that any of this is dangerous, but I can not tell you if this may affect your puppy at all. The milk is not necessary to the health & well being of your puppy, so it might be best just to feed Bruno a good quality puppy food. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
