Look out for poisonous food!
Tons of dogowners feed their furry friends a tasty snack every now and then. And there is nothing wrong with that! You should definitely treat your dog from time to time, but do it in moderation. There are also certain things which you should avoid giving your dog at all costs.
Chocolate
Grapes and raisins
Onions and garlic
Onion and garlic contain substances that can damage dogs' red blood cells, leading to anaemia. Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhoea, weakness and breathing problems. Even small amounts of onion and garlic can be harmful, so avoid them in all dishes you share with your pet.
Avocado
Avocados contain persin, a substance that can be very harmful to dogs. Although the amount of persin in the flesh is low, eating the peel, pit or leaves can cause severe stomach pain, breathing problems and even death. It is best to leave avocados completely out of your dog's sight.
Nuts
Some nuts, such as macadamia nuts and walnuts, are very toxic to dogs. Eating even a small amount can cause symptoms such as vomiting and fever. Macadamia nuts are seen as the most dangerous ones and should definitely be avoided.
