Let’s face it—dogs are not known for being fussy
eaters. Some dogs will eat anything and
everything they can get into their mouth.
This isn’t a big problem with many human foods, but there are a few that
could be potentially fatal to your dog.
We are all aware that many dogs cannot eat chocolate. While a tiny bite here and there may not hurt
most dogs, it could kill others. Dark
chocolate and baking chocolate are especially hazardous.
Onions are another no-no for your dog. There are chemicals in onions that turn to
poison within the dog’s digestive system.
This is true of some strains of mushrooms as well. Rather than take the chance, it is important
to keep both these substances out of your dog’s reach. Garlic is another
culprit. The toxic effect of this spice
is quick.
Any kind of seed could cause problems in your dog. While most will only cause discomfort and
possible vomiting, seeds such as apple seeds can be fatal. If you have a dog that likes to investigate
the garbage, it is important to make sure he can’t get to these.
Chicken bones are another hazard to dogs, as are those of
turkey and duck. These bones tend to
shatter and the sharp pieces can poke a hole in your dog’s stomach or
intestine.
Dogs are known for eating many things a human stomach cannot
handle. This, however, does not mean
they can eat all a human can. To be
safe, make sure foods are not left where your dog can discover them. The most innocent looking item could be the
one that kills your dog. A few minutes of caution can save a lifetime of
sadness should you lose your dog.
