Human foods that can be harmful to your dog!

Many dog owners are aware that giving their pets chocolate can lead to major difficulties. However, there are a few other popular human foods that you probably keep in your home and that might seriously harm your pet. Before giving your dog anything in addition to their regular meal, please consult with your veterinarian. Here are a few food items that you should not be giving to your pet-

Nuts

Despite their seeming health, do not feed nuts to your dog. They can upset your pet's stomach and are a choking hazard due to their size and high-fat content. In particular, cashew nuts are extremely dangerous to dogs; while they seldom result in death, they can make your dog unable to walk, and cause vomiting, cause lethargy, and even cause convulsions.

Alcohol

Unlike humans, dogs' kidneys can't adequately digest alcohol, which can lead to health issues. The ideal water for your dog is always fresh, clean water.

Avocados

The seeds, skin, and leaves of an avocado, not the fruit's flesh, can hurt your dog. These contain a persin-containing compound that induces vomiting and diarrhoea.

Caffeine

Caffeine is not harmful to dogs, but it does have an impact on them that is similar to what it has on people, and because dogs are more sensitive to this effect, it can be quite uncomfortable and unpleasant for them and might cause your dog to become hyperactive.

Chocolate

It is commonly known that dogs are extremely poisonous to chocolate. Theobromine, a stimulant that disrupts your dog's metabolic processes, is present in chocolates.  A dog may experience an upset stomach, cardiac issues, convulsions, or even pass away depending on how much it consumed.

Fatty and fried foods

These food options can be unhealthy for humans, just as they can be unhealthy for dogs. High-fat diets can irritate your dog's stomach and, in some cases, lead to pancreatitis in dogs. Additionally, consuming these foods frequently can result in obesity and other health issues.

Onions and garlic

Onion and garlic are common ingredients in cooking, however, they are poisonous to dogs. Your dog may suffer red blood cell damage if they consume cooked or raw garlic and onions, which may cause anaemia.

Raisins and Grapes

Although these fruits are fine for humans, dogs should not consume them. The consumption of grapes and raisins has a significant impact on your dog's health and can lead to severe health issues.
