Foods To Avoid Giving Your Dog

Human food is not formulated for the specific needs of your dog and for this reason should not be given indiscriminately to dogs. Dogs need a well balanced diet, which gives them the vitamins and minerals they need to maintain good health.

The problem with feeding them table foods is they acquire a taste for them and so are less willing to eat the dog food you offer them. After all, who wants to go back to eating ordinary dog food after eating the rich tastings foods which we humans eat?

Dogs have more sensitive stomachs than humans and cannot tolerate all foods as we do, which means if you give them something which disagrees with their digestive system, you will likely have to clean up the consequences afterwards.

The following foods are bad new for the health of your dog and should be avoided.

Fruit and vegetables.

Common sense tells us humans that these foods are good for us, but they are not good for our canine friends and, surprisingly, can cause them serious health problems, such as breathing difficulties and can lead to fluid accumulation in the heart, stomach and chest. Even common vegetables, such as onions, wild mushrooms and tomatoes can cause weakness in a dog.

Tea and Coffee can cause unwanted symptoms in dogs, and can cause problems in the central nervous system.

Chocolate.

Dogs like chocolate as much as we humans do and are just as attracted to the sweet, sugary taste. It will cause your dog to put on unwanted weight, and it contains caffeine which is harmful to your dogs's health. In summary, avoid giving chocolate to your dog.

Grapes and Raisins

These are toxic to dogs and should be avoided. Even a handful of raisins could cause kidney failure. If you eat them yourself you probably find they can easily fall to the floor, where of course your dog can find and eat them. If this is the case with you, it is best to pick them up as soon as they fall to the floor.

Feeding your dog canned dog food can contribute to bad dog breath .

If you were as concerned as I was when I realized how harmful to a dog's health are some of the common human foods we eat every day, until I read this free dog food report which really opened my eyes to the whole subject and educated me so I now know what foods to avoid giving the dog and other people's dogs as well.
