Eggplant

[Nicole...]

I picked up some eggplant cheap when I did Lomani's BARF shopping today but wanted to check if it's safe to give her or not... I've searched for eggplant on DOL but am still no closer to knowing if the fruit of eggplant is ok?

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance!!!

It's fine :rolleyes: I used to put it in my dog's barf mix all the time.

I don't give any of the nightshade family of plants to my dogs, including potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant..ect.

I'm suspicious of the toxicity in them.

I ended up finding a few websites that said that it is fine so long as your dog doesn't have arthritis as it tends to exacerbate it.

Thanks!

Have to agree with you fifi, in fact my homoeopathic vet told me to stay away from them particularly with dogs with allergies.
