Can Dogs Eat Asparagus?

Can dogs eat asparagus? The short answer is Yes,as long as they are not allergic to it. Asparagus does have some beneficial qualities for dogs when it comes to digestion. Many dogs are allergic to certain foods,especially if the food is new or a staple of their diet. Dogs don’t get hurt by asparaguses nor do there appear to be any side effects from consuming raw asparagus.

But if you intend to give your dog’s asparagus,be certain to properly cook it first. Raw asparagus can burn your pet’s internal organs,which could result in death. It’s very toxic,so never give your dog raw asparagus or make sure you grill or boil the vegetable first. Also,never give your pet asparagustes with onions,garlic,chives,or any kind of spicy vegetable – ever.

It seems that most people are unaware that asparagus has nutritional value,and many would agree that it’s a good side dish. Not only is it a nutritious vegetable but it’s also very tasty. It’s even been said that asparagus tea can help stimulate your pets’ appetites!

There are several vitamins found in asparagus,which makes it such a healthy,and nutritious side dish. Vitamin A is found in abundance in asparagus,which is why asparagus is considered to be such a healthy herb. Vitamin B6 and potassium are also found in abundance in asparagus,along with folic acid. Folic acid is particularly important because it helps protect the liver,and other organs,from dehydration,and from being harmed by high levels of diuretics (water).

Asparagus spears are full of vitamins,minerals,and nutrients,so even though it may look appealing to cook up some asparagus for your dogs,don’t do it! The nutrients that ferns contain just don’t have the same benefits as a cooked up carrot or potato. Carrots,for instance,have been shown to reduce cholesterol,and have been shown to help maintain healthy arteries. But,ferns don’t have the same benefits. In fact,ferns may actually be more harmful to dogs than cats,because their digestive systems are not equipped to process all the ingredients in foods like carrots.

What I’d recommend is to either get your dog a diet of cooked vegetables,such as baked potatoes,or to boil them for his meals. Then,you can feed him raw,unpeeled vegetables,but be sure not to give him too much raw butter or cooked potatoes,because he may choke on some of the raw meat. Also,be aware of the fact that some foods,such as cooked foods,such as garlic,can be toxic for dogs. So,don’t feed garlic to dogs,no matter how tempting they may be!

As a final note,don’t give your Pomeranian any veggies that are green in color – such as spinach,kale,cabbage,and collard greens. These vegetables are toxic to dogs,so never give a dog any of these types of vegetables. As a side note,if a Pomeranian likes asparagus,you may want to try giving him a small amount in the form of a supplement,because he may need a boost to his immune system.

As you can see,although asparage is a relatively healthy vegetable,there are a number of potential health issues that can arise when a dog begins eating cooked asparagus. It’s important to avoid giving a dog cooked vegetables,at least until he is fully-grown and has had plenty of time to develop a natural immunity to the toxins in the vegetable. Luckily,cooking vegetables usually do not introduce any new toxins into the system,so as long as you prepare your pet’s food with care,there should be very little problem with introducing cooked asparagus to his diet.

I’d like to introduce to you the Sleep8 CPAP Cleaner.

What is a Sleep8 CPAP Cleaner?

This device completely sanitizes your mask,headgear,tubing and water chamber by getting rid of 99.9 percent of mold,bacteria and viruses viruses (according to: https://medium.com/@tom.o/sleep8-cpap-cleaner-reviewed-aa5c880d6d11

The Sleep8 makes use of activated oxygen or ozone instead of water to clean and sanitize your CPAP equipment. You will appreciate to know that ozone doesn’t come into contact with your CPAP machine in any way. And also,what makes Sleep8 stand out from its competitors is its size. It is very lightweight,weighing only 9.4 ounces. And it’s portable,so you can pack it in your luggage for use at home or when you travel.

Let’s take a look inside the box. On top is the Sleep8 itself. You’ll also see the micro USB charger,the Sleep8 Quick Start Guide,and the Sleep8 filter bag. The soft,resealable filter bag should be changed approximately every 3 months with regular cleaning use. Replacement filter bags are available at reputable CPAP and medical equipment stores.

Sleep 8 CPAP Cleaner instructions

As an optional purchase,the makers of Sleep8 have made this convenient soft shell travel case which easily stores all your sleep aid accessories at home or on the go.

To start the process,simply connect the micro USB cable between the Sleep8 device and an accessible and working electrical outlet. When plugged in,your Sleep8 will beep once and the battery indicator will be seen on the screen. You can either use the Sleep8 while plugged in or on battery power. A full charge will take about 90 minutes or so.

How does the cleaning procedure work? Before you begin the sanitizing process,make sure you clean up your CPAP mask with a wipe to remove residue or facial oils from the cushion. If you’re using a dehumidifier and you are sanitizing the water chamber,be sure the water chamber is complete empty. Don’t leave any excess water in it.

Leaving your mask attached to the tube,connect this tube to the valve inside the filter bag. The Sleep8 is compatible with most CPAP tubing with no special connections or parts needed. Only the Dream Station Go with 12 millimeter tubing which is smaller than standard CPAP tubing,requires a mask adaptor to connect the tube to the filter bag. This mask adaptor can be also purchased from your trusted CPAP or medical equipment store.

Once you place the mask,tube and water chamber inside the bag,seal it shut. On the outside of the bag,you’ll notice a triangular port which attaches directly to the Sleep8 CPAP Cleaner.

With the device attached,and the bag sealed,press the round power button on the Sleep8 until you hear a beep. The device will light up and the device timer will begin the countdown,starting the sanitation process.

The device is virtually quiet. But you will hear the fan adjust speed from time to time or see the filter bag inflate,but this process is perfectly normal during sanitation.

In about an hour,the Sleep8 device will beep,and the screen will say ok,and the device will shut off.

When the device shuts off,you can open the bag and remove your CPAP equipment.
