I'm not too sad about avocados being toxic....neither me nor my boyfriend like them anyway. Good to know about the mushrooms--for some reason I kind of figured they would be bad.

Eggs are a complete protein  and so is goat milk protein powder yet they are both low purine foods and also safe for liver compromised dogs much more so than any kind of meat. Most veggies/fruits are also low purine.
I stay away from anything that's too acidic...not just for liver compromised, but for dogs in general. I also stay away from mushrooms. Like Ladymom posted, they're toxic.
Here's a link to the ASPCA about pomegranates: ASPCA Blog: Ask the APCC: Are Pomegranates Harmful to Dogs? |
I was wondering if egg would be considered a complete protein since it is basically an animal protein....so that's good to know!
Hmmm...I read what the ASPCA had to say about pomegranates, but I thought they were basically talking about every part of it except the fruit. Really, the only time I'd consider giving her that is in the Pomegranate flavored yogurt I buy for me.....unless I should just not chance it at all??
Do you think apricot or kiwi would be considered too acidic?
Also, I LOVE asparagus and eat it just as often as I eat broccoli (which she shouldn't have I guess
), so it would be great if she could have that occasionally??
