No Food Sharing

June 2, 2010 · Filed Under All Entries, General 

We often like to share what we have to people that we love. However, this thinking is not safe when it comes to sharing foods with our canine or feline pals as some of our favorite people food could be poisonous for them. Below are some of the common foods that could be fatal to your pets:

1. Avocado – This fruit is said to contain a toxin called Persin. This toxin is not only limited to the fruit but is also contained in the leaves, seeds, and bark.

2. Onions, Onion Powder, Chives and Garlic – All these can result to gastrointestinal irritation. Worst, may also result to damage of the red blood cell.

3. Grapes and Raisins – This may cause kidney failure especially to our canine friends. Though no research have made to fully know the factors, it is generally advised no t to include this in to their diet.

4. Yeast Dough – Though threat does not involve cooked dough, the uncooked ones may contain yeast that can rise in our pet’s stomach. This may lead to stomach pain and intestinal rupture.

5. Foods with High Salt or Fat Content

There are more foods out there that may be more harmful than beneficial to our pets. The safest way to go is that when we are in doubt… don’t.
