The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (APPC) warns against giving dogs psychedelic mushrooms or keeping them within their reach, as they can cause severe and potentially life-threatening effects. Magic mushrooms, also known as shrooms, contain psilocybin and psilocin, which are structurally related to LSD and act on serotonin receptors. Signs reported in dogs include vocalization, mydriasis, and seizures.
The widespread use of psychedelic mushrooms, also known as magic mushrooms, has been common since the 1970s. However, not all mushrooms are a concern for dogs. In this article, we explore the effects of shrooms on dogs, based on available research and expert opinions. If your dog eats shrooms, we discuss what to do and how to prevent such accidents from occurring.
Magic mushrooms can cause unsteadiness on the feet, agitation, mild to severe depression, sensitivity to sound and touch, and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Wild mushrooms range from edible varieties to those that cause vomiting, hallucinations, or even liver failure and death in people and pets. Highly toxic mushrooms can be deadly to pets, so any mushroom ingestion should be treated as a medical emergency.
The APCC provides a list of mushroom poisoning symptoms to help protect your pet. If your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, it is important to contact your vet immediately. Mushroom ingestion by animals is dangerous, causing toxicities that can progress from severe to deadly in a matter of hours.

This video is intended to present education about legal, medicinal mushrooms for a variety of therapeutic and wellness effects.
I had a dog lick blue honey off my finger (did not notice her right there) and it was the smallest little lick before I pulled my hand away. One lick of blue honey was enough to set her tripping. At least she had fun but yeah, cannot believe how insanely sensitive dogs are to mushroom. Keep fat away from dogs.
I worked in a 24 hour emergency pet hospital in San Francisco, we had a lot of stoned doggies come in. The most common way they got into trouble was from eating human poop (usually while at the park) from a person who had been on drugs. It’s good to know what the symptoms are because even if you don’t have drugs at all, your little pup can still get into it. 9 times out of 10, little pups would be sitting, wide eyed with huge pupils, front legs stiff out in front of them. Everytime a dog came in with this posture we knew they had gotten into something they shouldn’t have. And remember, if your pup does get into something, don’t worry, the vets, vet techs, and customer service people at the pet hospital have seen a thousand times before and will not judge you. Likely (depending on the drugs) pup will get fluids, maybe some charcol, and just have to wait it out.
I had experience backpacking where my buddy’s Chesapeake got into the slimies at the bottom of a glass of tea. He seemed to have a great night and it was of course great entertainment. His tail was wagging.he was digging holes and burying items unattended at our campsite. He was fine the next day. All in all I think we all had a blast!
I don’t do drugs, but ever since I moved from MS from CHICAGO, I’m learning about how varied the mushroom kingdom is. HOLY COW, there are so many different types in my yard. My foxhound got into some magical stuff and came in high as a kite. He was tripping hard called him over and just talked him down. Kind of scary, but kind of mad he didn’t share. I’ve always wanted to try them myself.
I give my dog microdoses with her lions mane, chaga and turkey tail mushrooms I also add 25mg of psilocybin cubensis that’s been ground together a whole 8th as once to make the dosing more even if it’s all Ground up into a powder together. It has done wonders for her she seems to just get sharper and sharper I definitely see a dramatic difference in her mental acuity and she’s much more energetic and playful. If your dog ingested any kind of drug in a large amount you need to keep activated charcoal at home for such situations. Anytime my dog has eaten something she shouldn’t have that could poison her i immediately give her a few grams of charcoal before rushing her off to a vet. You don’t wanna wait do you wanna give them the charcoal as soon as possible preferably in capsules rather than tablets so it works faster…. if you have an antipsychotic at home like Thorazine or quetiapine aka seroquel or haldol or anything like that those compounds as well as sedatives like benzos help tremendously. Personally instead of giving a larger dose of either I’d give a smaller dose of both a small bit of an antipsychotic and a very small dose of a benzo although most of you who don’t have a thorough understanding of pharmacology you might be better off just taking your dog to a vet for professional help. For those of you who know a lot about medicine and pharmacology and such that is a great combo. when I was much younger well over 10 years ago I sold LSD for sometime one particular time one batch I got stood out lightyears from the rest in potency each tab was like 3-4 tabs of most other lsd I had but everyone who tried it also swore it felt so much cleaner and more euphoric it was incredibly potent though and I knew people would not listen to me and they would take more than I told them to thinking it would be like all the other batches I’d usually have so I gave everyone a dose of seroquel along with the acid so if they didn’t listen or just accidentally took too much they could take the seroquel and calm right down.
I read about this not too long ago. The article said that mushrooms can raise their body temperature. Dogs only sweat through their tongues, and this is why they have a hard time dealing with hot weather. The tongue alone is not sufficient to cool them down enough to avoid stress. This is why they die in hot cars. ‘Shrooms can cause your dog to over heat and this may lead to death. Or so the article said.
Ronald Siegel mentions observing free-ranging dogs in Hawaii and Mexico “deliberately nipping the caps off psilocybin mushrooms and swallowing them” (Siegel, 2005, p. 68) in his book Intoxication. Let us not be quick to assume we know the minds of animals so well that we are the sole authority of what is right for them. Just like humans, the set and setting for a canine psychedelic trip is likely crucial.
Very Important Person 0 seconds ago Nope, sorry–this is a fail. You’re dispensing medical advice. You need a vet to advise you on this, and/or some well researched stats and some specific hypothetical scenarios, i.e.: is it a young, healthy german shepherd who ate a single shroom? Probably not a big deal. Is it an elderly chihuaha who ate an entire bag of shrooms? This could be serious. I don’t think it’s cool to be so cavalier about this topic–pets aren’t there for us to fuck around and experiment on, and “maybe go to the vet after you observe them for a while” barely qualifies as advice. Either do it right, or don’t speak on the subject.
Answer – You need to do some Hard thinking and almost certainly shouldn’t have had a pet to begin with. If you aren’t capable of having a pet or child and being responsible with serious mild altering drugs, you shouldn’t have them in the same environment. Make a choice of which is more important to you and get your shit together if you decide you want to have the Major responsibility of another life under your care. Obviously having a companion can be a very rewarding experience, but it’s also a serious responsibility and shouldn’t be taken casually. It’s not much different than leaving poison sitting around on your table. Sure, it may not be Deadly, but it will fuck them up. Don’t be a self absorbed douche.
