Avocado –large amounts of avocado can be dangerous for dogs. Why?
Avocados contain persin, that may be harmless for non-allergic people,
but can be toxic to dogs.
Dairy products – Never ever feed them with products that contain milk. Dairy products cause diarrhea and food allergies. Foods sweetened with xylitol – Among
these foods are candies, gums and so on. Xylitol, which is safe for us,
can be a real risk for your pets. It can increase the insulin amount in
your dog’s body and cause blood sugar drop. It can also badly affect the
liver.
Chocolate – What makes every type of
chocolate dangerous to dogs is theobromine. It can cause to serious
digesting problems. Other risks include abnormal heart rhythm, muscle
tremors and even pet death. Dark chocolate, chocolate mulch and
unsweetened baking chocolate are the most risky types.
Onions and garlic – Both onions and
garlic (in every possible form) can destroy your dog’s blood cells and
lead to anemia. Symptoms include vomiting, breathlessness and
indifference to food. (Can a healthy pet ever “ignore” food? Definitely
no.)
Raw meat/fish/eggs – All these raw foods
contain bacteria that can cause poisoning. Besides poisoning, raw eggs
can cause skin problems too. Raw fish can cause “fish disease,” symptoms
include fever, vomiting and lymph nodes. Trust me it can be fatal and
can lead to pet death. If you want to feed your pet with fish, take care
it’s completely cooked.
Consider the risks of these foods, and
keep your healthy pet as far from them as possible – it’s a difficult
but never an impossible task for an attentive and caring pet owner.
