Many of the owners like to share food with their dogs without knowing the serious consequences that this act of good faith entails. There are certain foods that are regularly eaten by humans, without causing any harm to their health, but which can be toxic to dogs. In fact, some of these products can be deadly for dogs. For this reason, it is convenient to know which of these foods that are frequent in our diet should be prohibited in that of our pets. These are ten toxic foods for dogs: 1. Avocado Avocado contains a substance called ‘persin‘ that has an insecticidal and antifungal effect that, in pets, can cause diarrhea, vomiting, pulmonary edema and heart damage. This substance is harmful to many pets. 2. Onion Onion is dangerous for pets as it can destroy the red blood cells of the animal and cause anemia. It can also cause breathing problems and tachycardia. 3. Alcohol If alcohol in itself is already harmful to humans, it is much more so for dogs. It can cause death from ethyl coma. 4. Coffee Given its high caffeine content, it can present symptoms such as tachycardia, nervousness or hyperactivity in the animal. 5. Chocolate Chocolate contains a substance called theobromine, which varies depending on the cocoa content. The lethal dose varies in terms of the proportion of the dog’s weight and the proportion of cocoa. It can cause vomiting and diarrhea to death. 6. Raw eggs Raw eggs can cause salmonellosis in dogs, which is very dangerous for them. 7. Milk Milk is a food that is usually fed to animals from puppies. However, most dogs are lactose intolerant and milk can cause stomach pain, diarrhea or vomiting. 8. Walnuts These nuts are a toxic food for pets due to their high phosphorus content. They can cause bladder stones in addition to other symptoms: muscle and joint pain and swelling, general weakness, ataxia, tremors, vomiting, and high fever. 9. Grapes Grapes are another toxic food for dogs. These fruits can cause dogs to vomit and diarrhea that can be aggravated by other symptoms such as poor appetite, dehydration, oliguria and kidney failure. 10. Potatoes Raw potatoes contain solain, a substance that can cause gastroenteritis to acute kidney failure in dogs.
