It’s natural to want to share our food with our dogs, but if you do this, it’s very important realize that not all human foods are good for our dogs.
In fact, some of our favorites are positively dangerous and should never be shared no matter how adorable or intense the begging becomes.
You might be surprised to learn that a sugar substitute that many consider a healthy alternative is actually quite toxic to dogs. Xylitol, a popular sugar replacement used
in sugar free cookies, gum, toothpaste, and other foods, can be deadly to our dogs. Its effects are twofold-not only can it can cause low blood sugar with seizures and
vomiting, it can also lead to liver failure, vomiting, lethargy and loss of coordination.
You’ve probably already heard or read that chocolate isn’t safe for dogs to eat and that is absolutely true. Dark chocolate is the most harmful because it contains the highest concentration of the toxic ingredient theobromine.
Onions are another human food that isn’t healthy for our dogs. It’s not a common poisoning, but it does cause anemia, and may hurt the kidneys. We’re not talking about the small bit of onion that may be in the leftover stew or meatloaf. Dogs need to eat quite a bit of onion to become ill – approximately 1/4 ounce of onion per pound of his body weight, which is quite a lot.
