Dogs are a man's best friend but there are certain surprising foods and drinks you should never give
your dog surprisingly even some foods which you would associate with dogs can be toxic to them
make sure that you and any other dog lovers know this information you never know it could save a
dog's life cooked bones we all know the famous saying give a dog a bone but in reality you
should never do this some people give their dogs frozen bones which is sometimes okay if they're
supervised but the american kennel club says never give your dog bones of any kind but if bones are
associated with dogs why are they so bad well when bones are bitten by dogs they can splinter into
shards this can cause serious damage to your dog's mouth throat or intestines also cooking removes
any nutrients from the bone this means it's not even good for your dog to have anyway you should
especially never give your dog cooked bones the cooking process makes them even more brittle
than raw bones if your dog ingests shards of bones this can cause peritonitis this is an inflammation
of their stomach tissue avocado everyone loves avocados and they're very healthy for humans that
is when it comes to dogs avocados are incredibly toxic avocados contain a toxin known as persin
this is safe for humans but not for dogs in fact every part of this fruit is dangerous for your dog
the leaves fruit and even stone inside are all bad that's because they all contain the toxin person
if your dog eats avocado then fluid will accumulate in your dog's lungs and chest this
will make it very hard for your dog to breathe and this will mean they're not getting enough oxygen
sadly in some cases this can even cause the dog to pass away fluid can also build up in the heart
pancreas and abdomen of dogs also avocado pits are dangerous in and of themselves sometimes dogs will
swallow these which can cause choking and in some cases cause a blockage in their digestive tract
so next time you make that trendy avocado toast don't let your dog anywhere near the pit
grapes and raisins grapes and raisins are another food which are pretty healthy for
humans but they can be extremely toxic to dogs they can cause a dog's kidney to fail and this
could even end a dog's life it's actually still not known what the toxic compounds in grapes are
birds no matter what they are a small amount can make your dog very sick studies have shown that
dogs can pass away just from eating a handful of raisins make sure you never give your dog grapes
or raisins and make sure they're not in any baked goods either for example cakes cookies or snack
bars which contain raisins or grapes tea and coffee it may sound strange but some people do
give their dogs tea and coffee while this can be a great source of energy for humans in the
morning it is very bad for dogs the reason why is because of the caffeine found in coffee and tea
caffeine can also be found in soft drinks coker and guana not to mention energy drinks too
so never give your dog any of these as well the reason why caffeine is so bad for dogs is because
they speed up their heart too much it also stimulates your dog's nervous system
this can cause an abnormal heartbeat rhythm and even lung failure in your dog which could cause
it to pass away dogs can pass away from just two milligrams of caffeine per pound of body weight
this means just a few sips of coffee or tea could be the end of your dog's life
chocolate everyone loves chocolate but it's pretty well known that you should never give this to your
furry friend the reason why is because chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine these chemicals
are very hard for dogs to metabolize if your dog eats chocolate this could cause it to throw up
it will also cause bad stomach pain and dehydration in some cases dogs can experience
heart attacks from chocolate other symptoms include muscle tremors and seizures the smaller
your dog is the more dangerous chocolate will be to your dog also the darker and less sweet the
chocolate is the more toxic it will be to your dog this means pure dark chocolate is much more toxic
than white chocolate the most common time for dogs to experience chocolate poisoning is during
valentine's day easter halloween or christmas that's because humans leave chocolate laying
around and dogs eat it from the floor so always keep any chocolate treats far away from your dog
salt if your dog has consumed a small amount of salt don't panic but if you give them too
much salt this can cause salt poisoning just two teaspoons of salt per pound of body weight
can be toxic for your dog this can cause your dog to be sick have tremors fever and seizures and in
some cases dogs even pass away from salt poisoning the most common foods that cause this are pretzels
potato chips and popcorn so don't give your dog these foods and make sure it always has access to
fresh drinking water candy and gum everyone knows that candy and chewing gum isn't great for humans
but it's even worse for dogs this is because of a sweetener known as xylitol this is a sugar alcohol
which is safe for humans but can be deadly for dogs if your dog eats this it will experience
a massive drop in blood sugar levels within 30 minutes your dog will feel weak and depressed
it also may be sick and have difficulty moving later symptoms will include coma and seizures and
eventually the xylitol will lead to liver damage and your dog passing away so never give your dog
any candy or chewing gum of course most good dog owners would not do this anyway but remember not
to leave any of this stuff lying around sometimes dogs get curious and eat it without their owners
even knowing alcohol do you think you have a weak tolerance when it comes to drinking maybe you get
tipsy after just one glass of wine well dogs are even more sensitive to alcohol than any human
just a very small amount of alcohol can cause your dog to suffer from alcohol poisoning this often
requires medical treatment and in some very bad cases can take a dog's life so if you're having a
crazy party keep the booze well away from your dog raw dough if you're doing some baking make sure
that the raw dough is far away from your dog the yeast in unbaked dough can cause life-threatening
illnesses if your dog eats it that's because the dough will continue to rise inside your
dog's stomach this will expand their abdomen and cause them a lot of pain also eventually
the raw dough will ferment this will produce ethanol which can lead to alcohol poisoning
white bread even when bread is baked it's best to keep it away from dogs if it's white bread that's
because store-bought white bread contains lots of oil and sugar inside it if your dog consumes
this this can cause pancreatitis schnauzers are especially susceptible to this if your dog eats
white bread then it may be sick it will also set your dog's pancreas on fire and it will need to
stay at the hospital for many days bacon everyone loves the smell and taste of bacon in the morning
but you should never give your pooch any bacon in the morning or at any time of day for that matter
bacon contains a lot of fat which can cause pancreatitis in dogs onion and garlic onions
and garlic can injure your dog's red blood cells this can make your dog incredibly sick and weak
it's more serious if they're eaten raw or in large amounts you should also keep your dog away
