Many people who have dogs usually feed them a diet very similar to that of humans. Although the dog food option is still widely used, some owners base their pet's diet on their own.
However, there are many foods that humans consume daily, but that could be highly harmful to dogs. The AniCura veterinary group did several studies that analyze the main foods that could be lethal for a dog.
Although it has not been proven what is so harmful to dogs about this fruit, it is known that it can cause several health problems for the animal, mainly kidney failure. "Today it is still unknown why grapes are so harmful to dogs, but the studies carried out show that it is due to some of their components," the entity maintains.
Onion can cause health problems for a dog.
The problems that onion and garlic can cause would appear based on the quantity and daily intake. For example: if you eat a piece of onion or a small portion of garlic, you will not become poisoned or sick.
The damage they can cause would occur if they were consumed constantly, that is, several times a day. These foods contain compounds that damage dogs' red blood cells and could cause anemia.
This food is totally dangerous for the dog's health, regardless of the type, quantity and frequency with which it is consumed. According to AniCura, the "toxicity lies in the theobromine contained in cocoa; dogs are not able to metabolize this substance and it accumulates in their body."
Problems that theobromine can cause in a dog include muscle tremors, vomiting, diarrhea, irregular heartbeats, and even a heart attack.
