5 things you never knew you shouldn’t give
TRANSCRIPT
Most people know that chocolate is a major no-no
for dogs.
Like sharing your morning coffee or a late night
alcoholic beverage, it may seem cute to let your
dog taste the food and drinks you’re enjoying, but
these and many other items can be toxic and even
fatal for your furry friend.
Grapes and Raisins
The ASPCA acknowledges that the exact
reason grapes and raisins cause kidney failure
in canines isn’t clear.
Some dogs can even eat them without anyissues, but others experience symptoms afterjust a few pieces of the fruit. Vomiting anddiarrhea may occur within 12 hours ofingestion, followed by lethargy and loss ofappetite. Pay attention to your dog’s urinationlevels.
Grapes and Raisins
If it increases briefly and then drops or stops altogether, get him to the veterinarian right away.
Without treatment, kidney failure can cause death in as quickly as three days.
Long-term kidney issues may develop, leading to diabetes. NuVet Plus reviews do offer examples of dogs with blood-sugar levels that improved on NuVet Plus and a good diet. Visit the NuVet reviewspage to see if NuVet Plus is the right choice for your pet.
2. Corn on the Cob
It may seem funny to watch your dog try to get the kernels off a cob of corn, but your pup doesn’t actually care if he eats part of the cob while he chomps on the juicy corn.
He’ll digest the corn without problem, but the cob may get lodged in his small intestine.
The only way to prevent a fatal blockage is to have it surgically removed.
3. Onions and Garlic
Lump all the relatives of these seasonings into the warning.
They contain disulfides and sulfoxides that damage red blood cells and may cause anemia. High concentrations, like onion and garlic powder or onion soup mix, are the most hazardous.
Orange or red-tinged urine and weakness are signs of toxicity from these foods.
4. Candy and Gum
Sugar has the same ill effects on dogs as onhumans – diabetes, obesity, cavities – so consider anatural supplement like NuVet Plus to replace yourdog’s sugar-filled treats.
Many treats actually contain xylitol, a no-caloriesweetener that can cause high insulin levels,seizures, and liver failure in your dog.
Disorientation and convulsions can begin as earlyas 30 minutes to a few hours after ingestion.Untreated, death can occur within a few days.
5. Bread Dough Yeast is the culprit, whether in the raw dough or
on its own. The moist, warm surroundings of your dog’s
digestive tract encourage the yeast to increase andexpand.
The mound of yeast can affect blood flow to thestomach or prevent the diaphragm from fullyfunctioning, while the expansion producesalcohols that can poison your dog.
Look for a distended stomach, lethargy, lack ofcoordination and vomiting. Seek treatment toavoid coma and death alcohol toxicity.
