Ten taboo foods for dogs:

1. Chocolate. Chocolate contains caffeine and an ingredient called theobromine, which can cause great damage to a dog’s heart and central nervous system. 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. Eating too much can cause acute anemia and even be life-threatening.

3. Milk. Although milk has high nutritional value, dogs, unlike humans, lack the corresponding conversion enzymes and are not easy to digest and absorb. Some dogs will develop vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive tract diseases after consuming milk.

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

5. Sticky foods, such as rice cakes and rice dumplings. Dogs generally do not eat very carefully, and most of them swallow in lumps. Sticky things may stick to the esophagus as they are swallowed, causing the dog to suffocate and die.

6. Seafood, such as shrimps and crabs, can easily cause diarrhea and worms in dogs.

7. High-salt foods. Salt, or salt-rich 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, if people can taste the salty taste, it means that there is too much salt. Dogs will be poisoned if they eat too much salt.

8. High-fat foods. Greasy food contains high fat content, which can make dogs obese and cause life-threatening pancreatic inflammation. Moreover, once a dog gets used to food with strong taste, it will cause the dog’s sense of taste to become stronger, forming a bad habit of being picky.

9. Expired food. These foods have begun to become moldy and can cause muscle twitching and atrophy in dogs after eating them, and then death. Also, prevent dogs from digging out of garbage bags and eating them.

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