"people" Foods Can Kill Your Dog

By: Joshua Hacken

Typically, dog owners love their dogs and will not do anything harmful such as feeding them with the inappropriate dog foods. Nevertheless, because of the ignorance of most people, they will sometimes give their dogs "people" food. They assume that since humans are safe to eat these foods, so does their dogs.

It does not matter if you feed your dog from the dinner table only on occasion or on a regular basis - there are dangerous "people" foods that should never be fed to your dog because some of these foods are like poison to your beloved dog.

You should always feed your dog carefully. Verify that the food you are giving him is safe from any toxins. You can achieve this by reading the dog food labels.

Below is a list of things worth taking note of when are talking about "people" or table foods:

- As a rule of thumb, usually any food that is acidic is not a good food to be offering your dog. Acidity can damage the GI track of the dog, leading to a number of nasty side effects some of which include; vomiting, panting, fever, restlessness, the list goes on.

- Grapes are terrible for dogs and kidney failure has been documented in dogs that have ingested this fruit so stay away.

- Onions are also extremely poisonous to your dog as they affect the balance of red blood cells in the dog's body.

- Coffee has been known to increase the heart rate of your dog. This can result in your dog suffering from GI track problems and seizures.

- The second most common cause of canine poisoning in the world today is ibuprofen. Dogs love the smell of this drug and will do anything to get at it if a bottle is around the house and not securely locked away.

- Chocolate is bad for your dog's health because it contains caffeine. It increases his heat rate and causes seizures.

- Rat poison is the number one leading cause of canine poisoning. Thus, always place your rat traps carefully at places unreachable by your dog.

You should give your dog the proper dog foods if you want him to be healthy. Don't feed him "people" foods. Select only high quality, nutritional dog foods. If you have any doubt regarding the types of foods to feed your dog, consult with your veterinarian. Don't just select any food.
