Food to avoid giving to a dog
Below is a list of food to avoid giving to a dog because they are poisonous or can cause
health problems to dogs:
Chocolate - Please do not be tempted to give your dog any of the
chocolate that you eat. Human chocolate contains Theobomine and in large doses can be fatal
to dogs, even a small bar. Symptoms of poisoning include seizures, vomiting, an increase in heart
rate and restlessness. Early Veterinary examination is recommended.
Lactose - Found in dairy products and milk. Older dogs cannot digest lactose because
they do not produce the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the products. Puppies will produce
lactase until they are weaned from their mother.
Potatoes - The intestines of dogs find it difficult to break down starch -
it crystallises and cannot be broken down. It may also start to ferment within the intestines.
Fruit - Dogs can find fruit acidic because of the high sugar content. This
may cause indigestion for some dogs. In moderation and as an occasional treat may be fine for
some dogs.
Raisins and Grapes - Please do not feed your dog these - they can cause renal
failure because of the mould, which occurs naturally on their skins.
