Can my dog eat lagos bologi? No, this leafy green is not recommended for dogs. Can my puppy eat lagos bologi? No. In spite of the waterleaf being extremely healthy for humans (in small amounts), it can be a health hazard animals. What if my dog ate waterleaf? The plant contains oxalate, which is known to cause kidney stones in both humans, pets and even farm animals. In addition, the plant contains hydrocyanic acid, which can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms, incoordination, drooling and even confusion. Cooking the plant does remove some level of these toxins, but not enough to make it safe for dogs to eat.

I include waterleaf in almost all soups and sauces and I thought it would be nice for my dog too and he could enjoy the same nutritional benefits I enjoy. Animal systems are really fragile and it could also be unbelievable.

I didn’t even know this is not healthy for humans let alone dogs. I’m from West Africa and this vegetable is quite common in our region. I’ll refrain from eating it from now as I don’t want to have any kidney stone itsh.

Okay. So cooking the plant does remove some of the toxins, but not enough to make it safe for dogs to eat. I used to just give the Lagos Bologi to my dog to munch on once in a while but I guess that’s not going to happen anymore.

I do the same thing. I personally use it in my salads and during those days, I give a little to my dog. I really did not know that it can be a health hazard for animals.
