Top 10 Taboo Foods for Dogs

Ten taboo foods for dogs:

1. Chocolate. Chocolate contains caffeine and an ingredient called theobromine. These ingredients cause great damage to the heart and central nervous system of dogs. Dogs who eat too much chocolate are likely to be poisoned and die.

2. Onions. Onions contain sulfur, which can destroy red blood cells in young children and cause anemia. Onions are highly toxic to dogs, and eating too much can cause acute anemia and even endanger their lives.

3. Milk. Although the nutritional value of milk is high, dogs are different from humans in that they lack corresponding conversion enzymes and are not easy to digest and absorb. Some dogs will suffer from vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive problems after consuming milk.

4. Sweets. Long-term consumption of sweet foods, such as beverages and desserts, can make dogs prone to diabetes and obesity.

5. Sticky food, such as rice cakes and rice dumplings. Dogs generally don’t eat very carefully, and most of them have to be swallowed in pieces. Sticky things may stick to the esophagus as they swallow, which will cause the dog to suffocate and die.

6. Seafood, such as shrimp and crab, can easily cause diarrhea and worms in dogs.

7. High-salt food. Salt, or preserved foods such as salted fish, bacon, ham and cured meat, are very harmful to the health of dogs. Dogs need very little salt. When preparing food for dogs, people can taste the salty taste, which means that the salt is too much. Dogs will also be poisoned if they eat too much salt.

8. High-fat food. Greasy food, high in fat, can make dogs obese and cause life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas. Moreover, once the dog gets used to the food with strong taste, it will cause the dog's sense of taste to become heavier, forming the bad habit of the dog's mouth.

9. Expired food. These foods have begun to become moldy, and dogs can cause muscle convulsions and atrophy after eating, and then die. In addition, prevent dogs from digging out of garbage bags to eat.

10. Almonds. Almonds are difficult to digest, and dogs are prone to symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea after eating them. Moreover, almonds are high in fat and calories, and excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and pancreatitis.
