Dogs Should Never Eat These 9 Foods

A number of these foods will only cause a mild upset stomach
for you pet while others -that I will elaborate further upon
could cause major illness or even death.

Chocolate: The liver and Kidneys of a dog can not brake
down Theo-bromine which is found in chocolate and over time
the build up of this chemical could be fatal to the animal. 
Theo-bromine Is toxic to the nervous system and heart, if a dog is
fed to much chocolate diarrhea and vomiting will more then
likely occur.

Chicken and fish bones:  When these bones have been cooked -is
when they are actually the most dangerous because they
become brittle and are much more likely to splinter. These can cause digestive system lacerations.

Onions: The toxins that can build up in a dogs system can
cause anaemia -if the dog is eating onions on a regular bases.
If the white of the dogs eyes turn yellow and/or if the dog has
a tongue that is pale in color -then these are signs that the dog
has extreme toxins in the system. Other key signals include:
urine -dark in color, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Mushrooms: If your dog does
ingest mushrooms you should induce vomiting and charcoal
may also be needed.
The most commonly reported severely toxic
species of mushroom is the Amanita phalloides.  In the US
toxicity does occur in dogs and it can be fatal if certain
species of mushrooms are eaten. They can cause severe
liver disease and neurological disorders.

Currants: Which are many different kinds of tart red or black
berries -used primarily for jellies and jams. The problem with
currants is that it contains a toxin that has been associated
with kidney damage.

Yeast Dough: If the dough is properly cooked then it is OK for your dog as long as it’s no more then 10% of the overall intake of food that your dog consumes on a daily basis. Yeast Dough can cause a rupture of the stomach by the
accumulation of gas in your dog’s digestive system.

Raisins:  Very small amounts probably wont do much harm -but treatment with
intravenous fluids are highly recommended if large amounts are
ingested. Typically if a dog eats raisins they will vomit within a couple
of hours and some dogs will even develop diarrhea. This is when
kidney damage most likely will accrue from an unknown toxin.

Cat Food: Most cat food has a higher calorie content and higher
protein percentage, an occasional bite of cat food probably wont
hurt your dog. To much protein in a dogs diet however, and the
dog will most likely gain too much weight -and thus sustain a lack
of nutrients they are missing from their own food.

Raw eggs: Raw eggs have been known to help a pets hair coat-but you do run the risk of salmonella. This one has been very controversial with veterinarians…
however there is proof that too much raw eggs decrease the
absorption of vitamin B (biotin) in dogs.

The bottom line here is this:
What you don’t know can cause serious illness or death to your beloved
dog so please -take the time to learn the best ways to protect and care
for them properly!It is important to be educated on ALL of the hazards that certain foods
can cause your pet -as they have a much different metabolism then
we humans and other animal species do.
