Some
people can’t resist feeding their dog some table
scraps. After all who
can say no to those sad puppy eyes? However, it is important
for you
to know what not to feed your dog.
And while it's never reccommended that you feed your
dog
human food (unless you are an expert), you should at least know which
ones can harm your dog.
What not to Feed your Dog ...
- Chocolate – It’s a tasty treat for children and your dog would
|
love some but it will kill them. It’s sad because many people aren’t
aware of this and end up giving their dog some chocolate only to find
their dog really sick or even dead later on.
- Milk
– Just like people, many dogs are lactose-intolerant. Milk can cause diarrhea
and other problems so keep it away from your dog.
- Salt
and Spices – Salt and spices raise a
dog’s blood
pressure and increase the risk of certain types of cancer.
- Onions
– Your dog will happily eat some if given with some chicken
or another tasty food but onions rupture a dog’s red blood
cells which can lead to anemia. The
same goes for onion powder and garlic.
- Grapes
and raisins – No one would of ever guessed that
grapes and
raisins are harmful to a dog, but they are.
This fruit can cause kidney failure
which
can kill your dog.
- Chicken
Bones – Have you met a dog that
wouldn’t die for a
bone? While you
might think it’s ok to give your dog a bone after your done
your meal, bones, especially small ones can be a chocking hazard for a
dog. Also small
splinter from bone scraps can seriously injure your dog if it gets
stuck in your dog’s stomach.
- Animal
Fat – Chicken skin as will as fatty meats will
harm your dog
if consumed in large quantities so refrain from giving your dog fatty
foods.
- Fruit
Pips – Pips found in apples, pears and similar
fruit are
lethal as well so be careful if your dog likes fruit.
The kernels found in plums, peaches
and
apricots are not so good either.
What not to feed your Dog - Important Note
Feeding
your dog while you’re eating will end up causing a lot of
issues. Your dog will never leave you alone. It
will become
very annoying and you will never be able to enjoy a proper meal
again. Many individuals who start off innocently feeding
their
dog a few scraps here and there, end up have to lock their dog in a
separate room while they are eating later on. So if you are
going
to feed your dog, do it at a time when you are not eating or put the
food in her food bowl.
Recently,
there has been some controversy over commercial dog food. Thousands of
dogs in
the U.S.
and other parts of the world were dying and the only thing that was in
their
diet was the so called “trusted big name company”
food. To learn
