Many
of the things that we enjoy eating can make dogs very sick and some things can
even kill them.Here are a few of
the things your dog should never have.
Chocolate- Chocolate contains a chemical
called Theo bromine which dogs cannot seem to metabolize.Milk chocolate contains lower levels
but dark chocolate and baking chocolate have enough to potentially kill, even
in small quantities.Theo bromine
attacks the central nervous system and causes symptoms such as restlessness,
quivering and vomiting.Higher
doses can cause seizures, coma and even death.
Acetaminophen- Acetaminophen is the active
ingredient in Tylenol.It can be
fatal to both dogs and cats.
Garlic, onions and chives- All fine in low doses garlic,
chives and onions are toxic to dogs when consumed in large amounts.
Grapes and raisons- Even in small amounts, gapes
and raisons are highly toxic and should never be given to dogs.Although veterinarians do not yet know
why they are so toxic, they do agree that they can quickly cause non-specific
renal (kidney) failure.Dogs
become so sick that euthanasia is almost always the end result.
