Can my dog eat Aburana, Turnip rape or Field mustard? 
This is a plant grown around the world, called aburana in Japan, and rape in parts of Europe. The rape plant is part of the Brassica family, which includes cabbage, collard, kale, mustard, etc. These plants are harvested for their roots, stems and flowers (which are edible). Rape is best eaten when still young (like spring greens). This plant is also used to make rapeseed oil and a derivative of this plant is used to make canola oil.
Can my dog eat aburana? This plant is not recommended for dogs to eat. A dog eating the rape plant will get sick. It can harm their nervous system, cause stomach problems, and even breathing problems. Can my puppy eat aburana? No, as this plant is also poisonous for puppies.

Yes, I do use the rape plant to make rapeseed oil. I do that in my home and my dog stays around too. Once, it mistakenly dropped into his food and I forgot to switch it before he started eating. That night, we all didn’t sleep for 3 hours straight. It kept wailing and the breath was coming in short. I was panicking because there was no way we could get to a vet at that late hour. It calmed down later but still had problems breathing well. In the morning we went to the vet and we were definitely scolded for the occurrence. Lol. But it was an experience I won’t forget.
This met me well! Here I am, a new dog owner writing a list of what I need to buy and you can’t believe that I have put aburana on the top of the list. Good thing I was just checking for more things to buy and I saw this. This is really helpful post. Thanks for putting it together. My dog will thank you for it!
Wow! I’m really grateful I found this early enough. I just got back from the supermarket where I bought a lot of aburana because we love eating it and I was planning on making for the dog too. I’m not sure I would be able to imagine what would happen to mine as she’s always sickly. I may even lose her.
Good thing you did. This plant is most definitely not recommended for dogs to eat. A dog eating the rape plant will get sick. Stomach problem is the mildest thing that would happen. The nervous and respiratory system could be affected and you sure don’t want that for your pet.
Aburana is definitely dangerous for dogs. I once saw a neighbor’s dog almost die from eating some that were carelessly disposed of in open trash. Thankfully there was a vet clinic in the nearby at the time.
Wow! I never knew the aburana could be this dangerous to dogs. Thank you for this educative article. It will obviously save many pet parents from dangerous errors.
This made me remember what happened when I first fed my dog with the rape plant. He couldn’t even digest it and got sick almost immediately. We were quick to rush him to the vet and I think I should say we were lucky he only came down with some stomach problems.
Hmmm.. I never thought that such an amazing plant for humans can harm the breathing and even nervous system of a dog. When people share their experiences with their dogs when they were fed with the plant, my eyes begin to open to its dangers.
