"People" Foods Destroy Your Dog's Health

By: Joshua Hacken

Usually, most dog owners take good care of their dogs and they are pretty careful about what they feed them. When it comes to feeding your dog at your dinner table, though, there is much to be considered such as how sure are you that what you are feeding your dog is good for it?

Even if you feed your dog "people" foods once in a while, you are jeopardizing his health because some of these "people" foods are poisonous to him. They have the power to kill your dog.

Therefore you should always take extra caution when choosing the type of dog food to feed your dog. By reading the labels on your dog foods, you can make sure that the food you are giving him is safe and nourishing.

Here are some of the things to watch out for when we are dealing with "people" or table foods:

- Acidic foods are bad for your dog and should not be offered to him. Acidic foods can destroy his GI track and eventually result in illnesses such as panting, restlessness, vomiting and panting.

- Dogs have bad experiences with grapes. There were cases of kidney failure in dogs when they consume this fruit.

- Onions are hazardous to your dog because they disrupt the balance of red blood cells within your dog's body.

- Coffee has been known to increase the heart rate of your dog. This can result in your dog suffering from GI track problems and seizures.

- Ibuprofen is deadly to your dog. It is the second leading cause of canine poisoning in the world. Make sure you put this drug away from the reach of your dogs as they really love its fragrance.

- Most dog owners have, at some point in time, given their dogs chocolate. Chocolate contains caffeine which can increase their heart rate, which will in turn lead to seizures.

- The world leader in canine poisoning is rat poison. Always take extra caution when placing rat traps around the house so that your dog will not be able to reach them.

You should give your dog the proper dog foods if you want him to be healthy. Don't feed him "people" foods. Select only high quality, nutritional dog foods. If you have any doubt regarding the types of foods to feed your dog, consult with your veterinarian. Don't just select any food.
