Don’t Feed Your Dog These Things

We all know that dogs are not bothered about what they eat. If there is anything left lying around then most dogs will try to have a taste of it regardless of what it is. Well you would not think that there is any harm in that, they are just playing around, but unfortunately some human foods can actually be fatal to your dog.

Although some people give their dogs chocolate treats without any ill effect, dark or baking chocolate can actually prove fatal to some dogs.

Onions are another thing to stay well clear of with dogs. There are chemicals in Onions that can turn to poison in a dogs digestive system.

Mushrooms and Garlic are another two types of food that you must stay away from; Garlic especially can be toxic inside a dog.

Try to keep your dog away from anything that contains seeds. Some dogs may just feel a little discomfort if they swallow seeds, but Apple seeds can actually be fatal to some dogs.

Dogs love their bones, but if the bones are from poultry such as Duck, Turkey or Chicken then this is different. These sorts of bones are prone to shattering, if this happens in a dogs intestine or stomach the consequences could be severe.

Dogs are not a canine version of a garbage can, even though they do eat almost anything. Do not leave food out for your dog or anybody else’s dog to find, keep temptation out of their way.

Even an innocent piece of food lying around could be enough to kill either your dog or somebody else’s dog. Just a little care and you could stop an innocent dog from losing its life.
