Do You Know Some People Foods are Poisonous to Dogs?

If you want a healthy pet, stick to the foods recommended by dog experts. This means that pet parents should avoid giving the dog people foods to avoid poisoning. A pet parent will certainly prevent from eating if it is known that the food is poisonous. However, not many people are aware that some common human foods can have toxic effects on the dog.

Dogs have huge appetites and they are also omnivorous thus anything will be eaten. They can gain a lot of healthful benefits from fruits. Fruits are loaded with vitamins that will enhance the immune system of the dog and also strengthen the intestinal muscles for easier waste elimination. Grapes and avocados though must be kept away. An unknown substance in grapes and raisins is toxic as it can cause severe kidney damage. The avocado fruit as well as the leaves, bark and pit are extremely dangerous as ingestion causes not only breathing difficulties but also the accumulation of fluid in the chest, abdomen and heart.

Chocolate, tea and coffee are other poisonous foods to dogs as the caffeine in coffee and tea as well as the theobromine in chocolates stimulates the heart and nervous system often causing fatal results. A dog lover would always be amused by dogs that have learned to do tricks. It would be a big accomplishment if the owner can teach the dog to drink beer from the can but ingestion of alcoholic beverages would have ill effects that can result to the death of the pet.

Beer and other alcoholic drinks contain ethanol, the compound has poisonous effects. Dogs that have ingested alcoholic beverages will exhibit signs of respiratory depression as the ethanol is absorbed by the body. Immediate medical attention is imperative for dogs that have swallowed sizeable amounts of alcoholic beverage as inducing vomiting will not help the pet.

Onion is another common human food that is poisonous to dogs. This pungent bulb has thiosulfate, a substance that destroys red blood cells. Foods containing onions must not be given as the thiosulfate is not destroyed by cooking. A large dose or small but regular doses of onions can cause the death of the dog.

It should never be assumed that foods eaten by humans are also safe for dogs. They have different metabolism thus foods that are perfectly safe for humans can have poisonous effects when consumed.

Note: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Therefore, this article is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If your pet has any health issues, you should consult a certified veterinary physician.
