Dog mushroom poisonings rise in UK November due to toxic fungi growth, risking severe illness or death; act fast if ingested.
As autumn brings wet, mild weather to the UK, veterinarians warn of a rise in dog mushroom poisonings, with November being peak season due to ideal growing conditions for toxic fungi.
Even a small bite can cause severe illness or death, leading to liver failure and treatment costs from £800 to over £3,000.
Symptoms may appear quickly or be delayed, making prompt vet care essential.
Experts advise treating all wild mushrooms as dangerous, acting fast if ingestion is suspected, and providing a photo or sample if possible.
