The 10 Most Dangerous Foods for Dogs

Don't let the cute face of the dog fool you - as you sit around the dining table: the leftover food you throw him can lead to extremely health conditions. You will be surprised to find that many foods designed for humans are a real danger for dogs

These are the 10 foods that are strictly prohibited for dogs:

1. Avocado

the real danger comes from the seeds, stems, and pits, all of which are difficult to digest and can cause choking or gastrointestinal blockages, which can be fatal. If you happen to grow avocados at home, keep the dog away from it

2. Alcohol

Beer, liqueur, wine or alcohol-containing foods - all are not good for the dog. Alcohol has an effect on the liver and the dog's brain just like we do. But in dogs a little alcohol can cause vomiting, diarrhea, nervous system damage, coordination problems and respiratory problems and death. The smaller the dog, the greater the risk and impact.

3. Onions and garlic

Onions and garlic in any form - natural, powdered, cooked  are really bad for dogs. They can destroy the red blood cells leading to anemia if consumed in high quantities.

4. Coffee, tea or any food with caffeine

Caffeine can be fatal and has no antibody. Signs of caffeine poisoning are, among other things, restlessness, accelerated breathing and even bleeding.

5. Grapes and raisins

Some people give grapes and raisins as a snack, but that's not a good idea, because grapes and raisins can cause kidney damage, and even a small amount of them can make the dog sick.

6. Milk and dairy products

On a hot day, it might be tempting to give the dog a cool ice cream, but he'll thank you if you don't. Milk and other dairy can cause dogs to vomit, have diarrhea and other digestive problems as well as develop an allergy.

7. Candy and gum

Candy, gum, and other sweet pastries have ingredient called xylitol. It can causes an insulin surge through the dog's body - which can lead to a drop in blood sugar and liver failure.

Peanut butter, are sometimes made without xylitol, so check the ingredients in your foods before sharing with your dog.

8. Chocolate

Many people know that chocolate is not good for dogs. Theobromine isn’t harmful to humans, but it’s the toxic part of chocolate for dogs. it can cause a dog to vomit, have diarrhea, and become overly thirsty, but on the more extreme side it can cause abnormal heart rhythms,  seizures, cramps, or death.

9. Raw eggs

Uncooked eggs have a concern for salmonella or ultrasonic bacteria. Also they have an enzyme that interferes with the absorption of Vitamin D - which also causes skin and long-term problems with fur.

10. Raw meat and fish

Many vets are seeing health benefits from their patients switching to raw meat diets but the majority of vets and the FDA still discourage feeding raw meat to dogs. Raw meats can have salmonella and e. coli .

Raw meat like bacon, ham and fish may also contain bacteria that cause pancreatitis in dogs. Also there are certain types of fish that may contain parasites that cause disease.

Please note: There are many other dangerous and harmful foods such as macadamia nuts, some fruits, salt, sugary drinks and more. It is very useful to study the subject well if you have a dog at home.
