HUMAN FOODS WHICH ARE HARMFUL FOR DOGS
As a pet lover, you are always eager and happy to share the best with your furry family member.
Whether it is your love, care or even food, you like to cherish it abundantly with your dog. You can enjoy the delicacies like chocolates, sweets, cheese and want to stay fit and fine having those fruits like avocados and grapes. On the contrary, the food items you relish on may not be possibly healthy for your furry pal.
AVOCADOS
Avocados – one of the world’s healthiest foods you may think to share with your pet pal. But, beware! it’s not so safe for dogs.
PERSIN
Persin present in avocados are highly toxic when consumed by dogs and the severity depends on the breed type. Your pet may suffer from stomach problems, fluid buildup in the lungs, and breathing difficulties. Among all the other parts, pits are highly life threatening, as they are slippery. It can accidently be ingested by your furry friend resulting into blockage of gastrointestinal tract.
CHOCOLATES
Chocolates are the most favorite for all, from children, young, and old to even canines. Dog owners should know that it is bad for your furry companions if you are always praising your pet with these treats.
THEOBROMINE
Chocolates are highly harmful as canines are not able to digest theobromine properly which eventually leads to problems like vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, severe agitation, abdominal pains, irregular heart rhythm, seizures and in some severe cases even death.
CHEESE
Cheese, cheese, cheese…love to have all those different types of cheese and your lovable companion too like to feast on grilled cheese sandwich. Just shake your head saying a big “NO.”
FATTY COMPONENTS WITH SUGAR
Cheese contains a high proportion of fatty components along with sugars, which canines digestive system is unable to break down. When consumed in excess, cheese and other dairy items can cause detrimental effects on dogs’ health. Your furry pal may suffer from diarrhea, intestinal gas and vomiting, when he enjoys too much of cheese.
NUTS
Don’t go nuts over NUTS for your pretty pet. All nuts make dogs go crazy but Macadamia nuts are highly dangerous for your pet pal. Rich in energy and good nutrient, Macadamias can be good for your health but the same is not true for your pooch.
When Macadamia nuts ingested, your dog can suffer from vomiting, tremors, depression and hypothermia. Your poor doggie can experience weakness and reluctant to walk due to painful hind legs.
You may consider sharing some table food or treats with your dog but are you aware, what effects these human foods have on your lovable companion. Being a pet parent, you have to be always careful about what you are feeding to your pooch.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Remember that these food items affect broadly based on your dog weight, size and breed. Apart from these human foods, there is some animal food also which your pet may be allergic to, and can have dangerous affect on them. So, it’s better to consider the dog food facts before feasting your furry friend on anything that you would think is really tasty or healthy.
