Foods we should never give to our dogs

For doglovers

The love and affection for our "friend" sometimes are not good advisers for its diet. Generally it's better its food to circumscribe to a good quality dry food (croquettes). And I am telling you this, me that most of the times I cannot resist my dog's eyes and I succumb. Nevertheless, there are some specific foods that we should never give them because they cause many problems to their vital organs.

Milk and dairy products
(except of yogurt in small quantity) - Stomach problems and diarrhea
Grapes and raisins - Renal failure
Alcohol - Vomit, diarrhea, coma and death
Chocolate, candies, sugar - Immediate problems on renal, heart, nervous system
Bones of chicken or lamb - Peritonitis, death
Potatoes, bread, starchy - indigestion
Onions and Garlics - anemia
Greens - Colitis
Coffee - Stomach or heart problems
Liver in big amounts - Affects negatively muscles and bones
Dough and yeast - stomach problems, stomach or intestine rupture
Avocado - Vomit or diarrhea
Mushrooms - shock, death
Corn - Obstruction to the intestine
Cat food - Contain lots of greases, pigments and proteins
Pits of fruits and seeds of apple - blockage of alimentary canal


Generally you should avoid foods with lots of fats, spicy or fried foods and also cold or hot foods are strictly prohibited, because they can cause serious stomach upset.

So if you insist to share your food with your faithful friend, you should prefer carbs (rice), egg (not raw), oil (preferably sunflower, oilseed, corn oil), legumes (lentils, chickpeas), fruits (apples, strawberries, watermelon without pits, banana), and vegetables (carrot, leek, green beans, lettuce, spinach, broccoli).
