There are certain foods that you should never feed your dog and it is important to know what they are so you can preserve the overall health of your pet.

  1. Sugar

Any foods that have sugar in them can be very dangerous for dogs to consume. Too much sugar can easily cause dental problems as well as obesity, which is why it is so important that you limit the amount that your dog has so it can live a long and happy life. Dogs can get diabetes just like people, so it is important that you keep the amount of sugar in their diet to an absolute minimum at all times.

  1. Chocolate dogfood

It is important to keep in mind that you will never want to give your dog any type of chocolate under any circumstances. This food is essentially poison for your dog, so you will need to keep it out of reach at all times in the kitchen. The high levels of theobromine in chocolate make it potentially fatal for dogs.

  1. Alcohol

While it may seem pretty obvious not to give your dog alcohol, it is important that they do not consume any of it. Even a little bit of alcohol can have a very negative impact on your dog’s brain and liver. Your dog could die if it consumes even a little bit of alcohol, which is all the more reason to never give your pet any under any circumstances.

  1. Milk and dairy products

Just about any milk or dairy product can be potentially harmful to your dog, so you will need to make sure that they don’t get anything like milk, yogurt, ice cream ever. These foods can cause diarrhea, nausea, and even vomiting. Dairy products are known for causing some serious gastrointestinal problems in dogs, simply because they are lactose intolerant.

  1. Grapes

Grapes, as well as raisins, are both potentially harmful to dogs because even small quantities can cause problems like hyperactivity as well as vomiting. If you want to keep your dog healthy, do not give it any grapes. Although this food may be healthy for people, it is very harmful to dogs and you should never give yours any.

  1. Salty Foods

It is no secret that salty foods aren’t very good for humans, but they are also bad for dogs. Potato chips and other salty snacks can cause seizures and even death in most dogs, so you will need to keep them away from your pet.

  1. Onions

Believe it or not, onions are another food that you will not want to give your dog under any circumstances. This vegetable can have a very harmful effect on the red blood cells in your dog’s body, so you will need to avoid giving your pet any of it.

  1. Corn on the Cob

Although some owners feel as though they can keep their dog the occasional corn on the cob, it can actually blog your pet’s intestines. Even a small amount of corn on the cob can have a tremendously negative effect on them, so you will therefore, need to make a point of not letting them have it. While dogs can digest the corn, it tends to get lodged in their small intestine. If the corn is not surgically removed, it can be fatal to your pet.

  1. Avocado 

Avocado may be a healthy snack for humans, but it can be potentially harmful for dogs to consume. This food can seriously upset your dog’s stomach, which is why you will want to keep it away from them altogether.

 

  1. Fish

One of the most harmful foods that you can give your dog is fish. While it may not seem like it, fish can do a lot of harm to your dog, especially if it is infected with a certain parasite. This parasite can wreak havoc on your dog’s intestines, and in many cases it is fatal. A lot of owners do not catch the parasite problem in time, which is why so many dogs die after eating fish.
