THAT Can Make my Dog Die?? or That Can Make my Dog DIE??
February 3, 2009
Unfortunately, most dogs don’t come with handbooks.
There are plenty of dog handbooks out there, but a surprising number of dog owners haven’t bothered to read one, so they’re surprised when Pooky vomits or has diarrhea after sharing some table scraps. There are many common human foods that can cause a dog to be sick or even die if consumed a in large enough quantity.
We’ve all heard that chocolate can be poisonous to dogs, but here are some less commonly known toxins:
Onions
Mushrooms
Coffee / tea / caffeine of any kind
Grapes / raisins (as few as 7 may be toxic)
Alcohol
Macadamia nuts
Yeast dough
Avocado
Garlic
Fruit pits and seeds
Broccoli
Rhubarb leaves
Green potatoes
Persimmons
Nutmeg
Raw eggs
Raw fish
Tomato leaves and stems
Tobacco is also toxic to dogs, so be careful not to leave cigarettes or cigars accessible.
Some dogs are allergic to dairy and wheat or grains. Companies such as Wellness, Orijen, Fromm, and Solid Gold make foods for dogs with such allergies.
Salt, baking soda, and baking powder may dehydrate your dog or worse – it could cause him to drink too much water too fast, resulting in canine bloat, which can cause death within hours.
And never give your dog chicken bones, or any meat with bones in it. The bones splinter and cut your dog’s mouth and throat, and cause damage all the way through him until they come out the other end.
If you think your dog has ingested any of these foods and exhibits staggering, trouble breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tremors, fever, seizures, increased heart rate, lethargy, drooling, or discolored urine, call your emergency vet or Animal Poison Control (900)680-0000.
And stick to dog food for the dog, people food for the people.
