Types of Food You should never give to your dog

"Just a little bite." You contemplate in your head as your dog glances at you with those big brown eyes. Can just a small piece of food be detrimental? You fight the urge to give because you are unsure about what's good for your dog and what's not. In this post, we'll help you get through a situation like this. Here are 10 food items that you should never give to your do

1. Onions and Garlic. There shouldn't be even a hint of onions and garlic in your dog's food. Onions and Garlic can be dangerous as it kills the red blood cells and causes anemia. It shouldn't be given to them in any powdered or raw form as well. You should also monitor for signs like weakness, vomiting, and breathing problems in case your dog consumes it.

2. Chocolate: Chocolates can be the most harmful for your dog. Even just a little piece of it can result in vomiting and diarrhea. Seizures, abnormal cardiac function, and even death can occur if chocolate is consumed in large quantities. It must not be stored in an easily accessible place and in cases of emergency where your dog consumes chocolate, you should consult your vet.

3. Raisins. You might be thinking that a single piece of raisin can hardly do anything. However, eating this fruit in any form can induce kidney failure in dogs. You should look for signs of sluggishness and weakness as early signs.

4. Avocados. Most people perceive the fruit as a healthy item and therefore tend to give it to their dogs. But avocados are known to contain a type of fatty acid called persin, which is toxic for your dogs.

5. Milk and other Dairy Products. Kulfi, Ice-cream or any other milk product might seem like a tempting option for both you and your dog. Most people end up giving their dogs ice cream in summers thinking that it will give them some respite from the heat. That is what you should never do. Dogs don't have the enzymes to digest the fatty acids and sugar that milk products contain. If consumed, it ends up causing digestive problems in them.

6. Yeast dough: Believe us when we say, Yeast and your dog won't get along. Consumption of this may result in low blood sugar, low body temperature, convulsions, respiratory difficulties, and eventually death.

7. Salt. It's always about the proportion with salt. Too much salt can lead to dehydration and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, muscle tremors, incoordination, and seizures in dogs.

8. Macadamia Nuts: Macadamia nuts are a high-fat meal due to which they can cause pancreatitis in dogs. Most dogs experience excessive shivering and start developing a high fever. They also might not be unable to walk. In that case, you should consult a vet.

9. Sugary foods and drinks. Weight gain, tooth decay, and even diabetes are not something that just humans should be cautious of. Consuming high processed sugar items can be harmful to your fur friend.

10. Caffeine. Should you be a little conscious of where you keep your morning cup of coffee?

Definitely yes. Make sure it is not within the reach of your dogs because a sip of caffeine can elevate blood pressure and can trigger serious cardiac arrhythmias. Pets may also get tremors or seizures as a result of a loss of muscle control.

These were just 10 food items that you should definitely keep your dogs away from. Make sure that they don't digest it and even if they do, you monitor their health closely. In case of any abnormalities in their health, please consult a vet at the earliest. Food after all keeps a dog healthy, energetic, and happy.
