Big No-Nos For Your Doggy

People can eat some foods that are safe for them, but doggies can’t. Putting human food in your doggy’s food bowl can be very bad for their health and even kill them in some cases. This is because doggies have different metabolisms than people do.

This blog talks about foods that have been proven inadequate for doggies. If you have a doggy, you should keep these foods away from them.

— Xylitol

You can find Xylitol in a wide range of foods, including gum, candy, and desserts. Dogs who take Xylitol may have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), seizures, and liver failure as a result of their consumption.

Before giving your dog anything that could include Xylitol, always check the ingredients list to be sure it doesn’t contain the sweetener.

— Citrus

It is possible that consuming excessive quantities of citric acid will cause discomfort and central nervous system depression if ingested in large quantities. Citric acid is found in several citrus plants, including the stems, leaves, peels, fruit, and seeds.

Small doses, such as those obtained by eating the fruit, are unlikely to result in anything more than mild gastrointestinal distress.

— Dairy

When it’s hot outside, it’s tempting to share your ice cream with your doggy. Instead, please give them a glass of ice water. Milk and milk-based products can induce diarrhea in your doggy, as well as other digestive problems. They can also irritate due to food allergies, which is another possibility.

— Alcohol

Drinking alcoholic beverages or eating certain foods can make dogs drunk, just like people. This impact can be accentuated in dogs, especially smaller breeds, because of their smaller size. Drinking too much alcohol can also negatively affect your doggy’s nervous system, resulting in him going into a coma or perhaps passing away.

There is absolutely no reason ever to provide an alcoholic beverage to your canine companion. You should also watch your doggy if you are attending a party where alcohol will be present.

— Chocolate

Chocolate is toxic to doggies, and most people are aware of this fact. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is an issue. White chocolate, for example, includes a high concentration of this flavoring agent.

The most lethal chocolates are dark chocolate and unsweetened baking chocolate. In dogs, chocolate can cause diarrhea and vomiting. Chocolate can cause diarrhea and vomiting in dogs. Potential side effects include cardiovascular issues, tremors, convulsions, and death.

— Yeast Dough

The fermentation of yeast dough might cause gas to build up in your pet’s digestive system. When this occurs, the stomach might expand and possibly twist, resulting in a potentially life-threatening emergency if not treated immediately.

Because ethanol is formed as a by-product of the yeast fermentation process, a doggy who consumes raw bread dough may become drunk.

— Human Medicine

It is not recommended that doggies be given human medicine. It has the potential to make doggies quite ill. Medications, like those for your children, should be kept out of reach of your dog. You should also limit the use of nonprescription medicines for your doggy unless your veterinarian advises them.

Pain relievers and cold treatments frequently contain acetaminophen or ibuprofen to alleviate discomfort. They may potentially be fatal to your doggy if consumed.

Conclusion

If ever your doggy ingests any of these foods, always maintain a calm demeanor and never attempt to treat your doggy without professional assistance. You risk injuring your doggy or injuring yourself. When a doggy is in pain, terrified, or upset, even the most affectionate doggy might behave out.

Depending on the circumstances, your veterinarian may need to perform diagnostic tests, induce vomiting, deliver fluids through an IV, or prescribe drugs. Hospitalization may be necessary in more serious situations.
