Food which are harmful for dogs

Dogs like to eat. The problem is that few of the human foods that we like are simply no good for your dog’s health.Your dog likes snacks, and you like snacks, and you like to share your snacks with your dog. Who can resist those puppy-dog eyes? But, just as your dog can eat certain things that aren’t good for you, many of the things we eat are not good for your dog health. To avoid a sick tummy, a visit to the emergency veterinary clinic or worse, take a look at this list of people foods that your dog should not eat.


1 Chocolate
contains Theobromine – a chemical that is related to caffeine, and it is also found in tea. It is poisonous to many types of animals, including dogs and cats. Most pet parents are aware that chocolate isn’t good for their dogs health, even if they’ve never heard of the toxin itself.Some people will tell you that the risk of theobromine poisoning is overstated, and that chocolate isn’t really all that dangerous, especially to larger dogs. Your Dairy Milk bar has about an eighth of the theobromine compared to a similar quantity of baking chocolate. White chocolate has less still.The danger is calculated by body weight. If your Wolfhound has snuck a bit of chocolate cake or the half-dozen chocolate chips that fell on the floor while you were baking, he’s probably going to be okay. If your Yorkie gorged herself on chocolate bonbons, get her to the vet. If she ate enough of it, it could kill her.

2 SWEETS AND CHEWING
 GUM is a sweetener used in some kinds of candies, chewing gums, and specialty dental products. It’s found naturally in many food plants, althoughcommercial xylitol is usually made from corn husks and Dupont Chemical makes theirs from hardwood.

5 ONIONS AND GARLIC
Over the long term or in very high doses, onions cause effect to the redblood cells in dogs and cats.

4 COFFEE
A moment ago, we discussed Theobromine.  Caffeine causes the same kinds of health problems, but worse. In fact, when your body processes caffeine, one of the products is theobromine.

5 ,
Grapes are poisonous to dogs. Unfortunately, we don’t know what exactly the toxin is, or why they cause problems, and therefore it is impossible to predict how many grapesit would take to kill the pet. To be safe, if Rover has eaten any grapes, rush him to the vet, after all better safe than sorry. If the vet can treat him before hiskidneys are damaged, the dog can often be saved.
