9 Chocolate
In each square of chocolate is Meticorten. And in dark chocolate, metilksantina is higher than in all other species. Even a small amount of chocolate can cause rapid heartbeat, cardiac arrest and frequent urination in a dog.
8 Xylitol
As a sweetener, xylitol is used in many products – generally, it is referred to in composition as an E967 additive. It is added to chewing gum, products for people suffering from obesity, diabetes mellitus. The animal may have seizures, loss of coordination and severe symptoms of poisoning after consumption.
7 Grape
Fresh grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs, regardless of breed. Only six grapes can cause kidney failure in an animal. Therefore, never give your pet such berries, and if he has eaten them accidentally, seek medical attention immediately.
6 Lawyer
The fruits and leaves of this plant contain persine, which is very toxic to dogs. By eating a large amount of avocados, the animal can have diarrhea and severe vomiting. These disorders should be treated like any other food poisoning, but in severe cases it is necessary to consult a veterinarian.
5 Alcohol
If the dog drinks even a small amount of alcohol or any other liquid containing alcohol, he may develop symptoms such as loss of coordination, frequent urination and slow breathing.
4 Macadamia nuts
Scientists have not yet discovered what exact substances in macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs. But it is well known that their use can lead to damage to the nervous system and, in some cases, paralysis.
3 Yeast paste
Due to the use of yeast paste, the animal may experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, cramps and diarrhea. It is therefore not recommended to give it dough in any form: bread, rolls, etc.
2 Nutmeg
This seasoning is used to prepare various dishes, but it is toxic to the dog. It contains myristicin, which contributes to the development of hallucinations, convulsions and abdominal pain in animals. These symptoms disappear within a few days, but it is best not to give the dog such a product. But keep in mind that nutmeg is very often added to various meat-based dishes – sausages, sausages, etc.
1 Caffeine
If you want the dog to cheer you up, it’s best to go for an early morning jog, but don’t share your coffee portion. Symptoms of caffeine poisoning include agitation, rapid breathing and tremors. Remember that caffeine is not only found in coffee, but also in tea, in many soft and energetic beverages.
If you are concerned that any type of food could harm your dog, do not feed him with this product. It is best to stick to the recommended diet, including in choosing treats.
