can dogs eat aubergine

Dogs can eat aubergine (eggplant) safely when it is cooked properly and served in small, controlled amounts. Raw aubergine contains solanine, a compound that can be harmful and cause digestive upset, so it should not be given raw in significant amounts. Cooked aubergine, without any oils, seasonings, or added fats, is safe and can provide nutritional benefits such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. However, dogs with certain health conditions, such as arthritis, kidney problems, or a tendency to develop bladder or kidney stones, should avoid aubergine as it may worsen these conditions due to its inflammatory effects and oxalate content. Introduce aubergine gradually and observe for any signs of allergies or digestive issues.
