If you have a dog then you would know how hard it is to say no to them when they ask for leftovers. Dogs are so affectionate and sociable that they instantly become part of the family to such extent that they begin to ask for human foods. No matter how sad your dog looks, do not feed them foods that could actually be fatal for them. Let’s take a look at some of the human foods that your dogs should never be fed.

Chocolate

Just like humans, dog’s love anything sweet, especially chocolates. However, if you think that giving chocolate to your dog is not a good idea as it contains a chemical known as Theobromine, which is similar to caffeine and can be dangerous for your dog’s health.

Candy or Gum

Whenever you un-wrap a candy, you find your dog staring right at you asking for a little bite. Candies and bubble gums are harmful for dogs as they contain xylitol, which can cause kidney failure and diabetes.  

Avocado

Avocados are extremely healthy, but not for your dog. Feeding avocados to your dog might cause diarrhea, vomiting, and art congestion. This happens because avocados contain persin, which is a compound that doesn’t suit a dog’s digestive system.

Grapes

Although many fruits and vegetables are good for your dog, but grapes in particular may make your dog sick. When dogs consume grapes, they suffer from diarrhea, kidney failure, and vomiting.

Onions

Another food that you might want to avoid feeding your dog is onions. Onions cause damage to red blood cells in your pet companion’s body. When enough red blood cells are damaged, your dog starts to weaken and shies away from physical activity.

Garlic

Garlic contains compounds that are highly toxic for dogs. This means that feeding garlic to your dog might mean extensive damage to red blood cells, which will make your dog weak. If you feed garlic in great quantities, your dog might need blood transfusions.

Fruit Cores

Be careful when you throw away fruit cores because your dog will love to chew it up. Fruit cores are toxic for your dog, and contain cyanide. This compound, found in apple, apricot, peach, plum, and pear cores, can cause an array of conditions including dizziness, seizures, shock, coma, and hyperventilation.

Yeast Dough

Avoid feeding your dog yeast dough because it can create a harmful reaction in your dog’s stomach. Feeding yeast dough causes gas to form inside your dog’s stomach, leading to severe pain and damage to its stomach and intestine.

Bacon

Even if your dog keeps asking for bacon, do not ever make the mistake of giving it some bacon to eat. Bacon causes pancreatitis in dogs, which is the inflammation of pancreas. Once your dog suffers from this horrible condition, its stomach will remain inflamed forever.

If you feel bad that you cannot share these foods with your dog, then make some delicious home-cooked meal for it, using only the non-poisonous human foods. This is the best way to keep your furry companion happy and healthy.
