Food not suitable for dogs

1. Nuts

Pets who like to eat nuts should pay attention. Macadamia nuts, walnuts, pistachios, and almonds cannot be eaten by dogs, especially macadamia nuts (macadamia nuts), which are fatal to dogs. It is said that only a little bit is needed. Macadamia nuts can make dogs feel nauseous and cause vomiting, so don’t eat too many!

2. Chocolate

Never try to feed them chocolate! The caffeine in chocolate is undoubtedly poisonous to cats and dogs. It reduces blood flow to the brain, leading to heart disease and other potentially fatal illnesses. Symptoms of poisoning: severe drooling, frequent urination, dilated pupils, rapid heartbeat, vomiting and diarrhea, extreme excitement, energetic tremors, and coma.

3. Fragile bones

A netizen’s dog especially likes to chew bones. He has fed it before, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. After feeding the dog chicken bones one day, the next meal the dog had a loss of appetite and some symptoms of retching. I took him to the hospital and the doctor said that the dog's esophagus was stuck and needed surgery.

Bones cannot supplement nutrition for dogs. Dogs still need to rely on dog food to supplement nutrition. Some fragile bones are more dangerous to dogs. If you want to feed bones to dogs, they should be boiled in a pressure cooker. , bone marrow is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, and copper. Chewing on large bones or some small snacks for grinding teeth can help remove tartar.

4. Milk

The editor has also talked about the problem of dogs drinking milk before. Milk contains a lot of lactose, and dogs’ intestines and stomach cannot absorb lactose well. Dogs may develop gas, diarrhea, dehydration or skin inflammation after drinking milk. So we don’t feed milk to dogs, but you can feed it milk without lactose, or yogurt, and the amount should not be too much.

5. Liver

A small amount of liver is good for dogs, but too much can cause problems. Because the liver contains a large amount of vitamin A, it can cause vitamin A poisoning. About three chicken livers (or corresponding amounts of other animal livers) a week can cause bone problems.

6. Table food

There are still many pet owners who feed their dogs human food such as leftovers. Nutritionists suggest that it is better for pet owners not to feed their dogs, because human food is generally not nutritionally balanced for dogs. It is not easy to absorb, and eating too much will cause serious tear stains, hair loss, skin diseases, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that dogs should mainly eat high-quality dog ​​food, which is nutritious, healthy and safe.
