Lead: As pet owners, we always want to provide the best food for dogs. However, some foods are toxic to dogs and may even be life-threatening. This article will introduce foods that dogs can't eat and foods that are not recommended for daily feeding to help people take better care of their pets.
1. Moon cakes and other sweets
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people like to eat moon cakes, but dogs can't eat more moon cakes. Because moon cakes contain a lot of sugar and oil, it is easy to cause diseases such as obesity and diabetes in dogs. In addition, lotus seeds, dates and other ingredients in moon cakes may also cause allergic reactions in dogs. Therefore, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, owners should avoid letting dogs eat moon cakes.
Grapes, onions, garlic and other fruits and vegetables
Although grapes, onions, garlic and other fruits and vegetables have certain nutritional value for dogs, they also contain some toxic ingredients for dogs. For example, grapes may cause kidney failure in dogs; Onions and garlic may cause anemia and vomiting in dogs. Therefore, when feeding these fruits and vegetables, the owner should control the intake and avoid excessive consumption.
Third, alcoholic beverages.
Alcohol is a highly toxic substance for dogs, which may cause liver damage, nervous system damage and even death. Therefore, owners should ensure that dogs stay away from alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine and spirits.
Four. Chocolate and its products
Theobromine in chocolate is a highly toxic substance for dogs, which may cause arrhythmia, muscle twitching, coma and even death. Therefore, owners should ensure that dogs stay away from chocolate and its products, such as coffee, ice cream and other foods containing cocoa.
Five, bones and fishbones
Feeding dogs with bones and fishbones may lead to perforation of the mouth, esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, and even lead to serious complications such as infection and bleeding. Therefore, when the owner feeds the bones and fishbones, he should ensure that the meat residue and fishbones on the bones are removed, so as not to bring danger to the dogs.
Six, raw eggs, raw meat and raw fish
Raw eggs, raw meat and raw fish may contain pathogens such as Salmonella and Toxoplasma gondii, which pose a threat to the health of dogs. Therefore, when feeding these foods, the owner should ensure that the food is cooked or cooked to maturity, so as to avoid the risk of food poisoning for dogs.
Seven, human drugs
Some human drugs such as painkillers and antibiotics may be toxic to dogs. If the owner needs to use this medicine for himself, he should properly put the medicine out of the reach of the dog to avoid eating it by mistake.
