Dog handlers have compiled a list of foods that are dangerous to pets.
How can you resist when a cute dog looks at you with pitying eyes and asks for a piece of delicious food from the table. And it seems to be okay – just think, once they treated a dog. But dog handlers warn: even a single case can result in poisoning and the development of inflammatory processes.
“The most harmless and familiar products for you can be poison for dogs,” says Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Cynological Federation, in an interview. … The cynologist told what you shouldn’t feed your pets.
Prohibited dog food
1. Chocolate and all its derivatives. Including milk and white chocolate, candy with nuts, cocoa and drinks based on it. All of these foods contain theobromine, a substance that is toxic to dogs. Because of the chocolate sweets, the animal can develop pancreatitis or hepatitis. At the same time, pets are very fond of chocolate, so dog handlers advise to remove it away from animals.
2. Tea and coffee (with milk and other fillers) ranked second in pet toxicity. These drinks also contain theobromine.
3. Bones from the table. The dog gnaws the tubular bones into small fragments, which can tear the intestinal walls, which will result in the death of the animal.
4. Onions and garlic Any form: raw, cooked, or as part of a meal, such food can cause diarrhea and anemia in the dog. In addition, onions and garlic are bad for your pet’s scent.
5. Avocado. Rich in vitamins and healthy fats, the fruit is not at all healthy and even dangerous for dogs. And all because of the persin content, which causes vomiting, diarrhea, nasal congestion, problems with breathing and internal organs.
6. Berries and fruits. Plums, peaches, apricots, cherries and cherries contain the dangerous substance cyanide. In addition, a shard of bone can damage your pet’s stomach. Pomegranate leads to stomach upset due to acid. And grapes and raisins destroy liver and kidney cells, and lead to increased gas production. In addition, grape and pomegranate seeds are also toxic to pets.
7. Nuts. Very fatty food for dogs that harms their digestion. And some nuts are completely poisonous to pets. Macadamia and nutmeg damage the nervous system, leading to seizures and seizures, which are accompanied by vomiting and high fever.
8. Sweets with sugar and sugar substitute. No cookies, no popcorn, no caramel. Sugar destroys tooth enamel and leads to diabetes. And diet sweets with sugar substitutes are badly damaging to your pet’s liver.
9. Salt. Salty food can lead to dehydration, and this is especially dangerous in hot weather.
10. Ice cream, cheese and milk. These foods cause diarrhea, indigestion, and pancreatitis if consumed frequently.
11. Corn and eggs. It is less digestible with these products vitamin B. And they also increase gas production. At the same time, corn in the composition of specialized dog food is safe.
12. Bakery products. Puff pastry and leavened dough are the cause of bloating and eating disorders. Baking with sugar is especially harmful. However, the dog will hardly digest a pie with meat.
13. Potatoes with mushrooms. A very high-calorie pet dish. In addition, mushrooms can cause seizures in the dog.

In the main pet menu, there should be only specially selected dry food or a natural diet, but with the addition of vitamin and mineral complexes, which must be selected on the recommendation of a veterinarian.
