Background:
Mycotoxins are harmful substances produced by certain types of fungi and molds, posing significant risks to dogs. While often associated with spoiled or decomposing food, mycotoxins can also originate from mold in the environment, including black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum), which can be found in damp or poorly ventilated areas of homes. Dogs exposed to these toxins, either through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact, are at risk of developing serious health issues.
