I know nobody can resist those furry angels looking at you with cute eyes and wagging tails at the table and then you feed them with something from your table. Those something can really be sometimes toxic for your dog.
Listed are some of the dangerous food for dogs.
Onions and Garlic
Onions
and Garlic in all forms can destroy a dog’s red blood cells leading to anemia.
And small dose is probably ok but eating a large quantity at once or smaller
quantity regualarly can cause poisoning.
Alcohol
Beer, liquor, wine, foods containing
alcohol -- none of it's good. That's because alcohol has the same effect on a
dog's liver and brain that it has on humans. Just a little can cause vomiting,
diarrhea, central nervous system depression, problems with coordination,
difficulty breathing, coma, even death.
Avocado
Avocados contain a substance called persin. It's harmless for humans who
aren't allergic. But large amounts might be toxic to dogs. If you happen to be
growing avocados at home, keep your dog away from the plants. Persin is in the
leaves, seed, and bark, as well as in the fruit.
Coffee, Tea, and Other Caffeine
Caffeine in large enough quantities can be
fatal. Symptoms of caffeine poisoning include restlessness, rapid breathing,
heart palpitations, muscle tremors, and fits. In addition to tea and coffee --
including beans and grounds -- caffeine can be found in cocoa, chocolate,
colas, and stimulant drinks such as Red Bull.
Grapes and Raisins
Grapes and raisins have is not a good idea
to treat your dog with. Although it isn't clear why, grapes and raisins can
cause kidney failure. And just a small amount can make a dog ill. Repeated
vomiting is an early sign. Within a day, she'll become lethargic and
depressed.
Chocolate
Most people know that chocolate is bad for
dogs. The toxic part is theobromine. It's in all kinds of chocolate, even
white. The most dangerous kinds, though, are dark chocolate and unsweetened
baking chocolate. Eating it, even just licking the icing bowl, can cause a dog
to vomit, have diarrhea, and be excessively thirsty. It can also cause abnormal
heart rhythm, tremors, seizures, and death.
Raw Meat and Fish
Raw meat and raw fish, like raw eggs, can
contain bacteria that causes food poisoning. The first signs of illness are
vomiting, fever, and big lymph nodes. If you still need to feed your dog with
fish then you need to cook it thoroughly.
