Dog Health Food - Don't Poison Your Dog By Giving Him The Wrong Food

 

Dog Health Food – What Is Safe And What's Dangerous For Your Best Friend

Without knowing what dog health food is, you might be
feeding your best friend foods that are harming them. Some
foods can really do a lot of damage to the health of your
dog and it's important to know what's safe and what's
dangerous.

This boils down to the individual dog and their
physiological makeup. Just because you know of another dog
that ate macadamias and was fine, doesn't mean that it's
safe for your little pooch!

Here's a list of the really nasty ones that all dogs need
to avoid:

Chocolate

Most of us know about this one these days, and it really is
amazing how little chocolate can be deadly for dogs. Dark
and cooking chocolate are the most dangerous with milk
chocolate not as bad. But at the end of the day, make sure
your dog just doesn't get chocolate, unless it's specific
dog chocolate which doesn't have theobromine (the nasty
chemical in chocolate)

Onions

These damage red blood cells causing anaemia. One big
serving or regular small ones can both be harmful for a
dog. Cooked onions are safer, but still not a good idea at
all. Thankfully, dogs don't seek onions out like they do
with chocolate, but if they are getting food scraps, make
sure that there isn't any onion in it, cooked or not.

Macadamia Nuts

Can cause muscle weakness and paralysis, usually short
lasting thankfully. Just about all other nuts should be
avoided because there's too much phosphorous for a dog to
handle. Peanuts are alright because they're quite different
to other nuts.

Tea And Coffee (especially coffee grounds)

Both have a similar effect to chocolate, but often dogs
don't eat them of their own accord, so it's not such a
problem. But it's still important to make sure that your
dog doesn't get into compost that has coffee in it.

Raisons or grapes

Can cause kidney failure in even fairly small amounts, so
make sure that you don't let them too close to these either.

Taking note of this list could easily save your dog from an
early and painful death, just by being a little bit more
aware of dog health food is. A lot of the other foods that
are only potentially harmful, need to be given in large
amounts to be harmful. I hope this helps to clear up a few
misconceptions and helps your dog live a long a healthy
life.
