It is important to understand that dog food is made to meet the nutritional needs and work with the dietary system of a dog. Feeding ‘people food’ to a dog can be dangerous to a dogs health, weight, and life and should be avoided at all costs.

The following is just a few foods which you should never feed a dog:

Chocolate and caffeine - both be harmful to a dog’s heart, causing diarrhea and vomiting.

Dairy and milk - cause diarrhea in canines.

Raw meat - contains Salmonella and E.coli which can lead to diarrhea and vomiting.

Raw eggs - contain avidin which can lead to coat and skin issues, not to mention the possibility of Salmonella poisoning.

Fat - fat from meat scraps have been linked to pancreatitis

Fish - can cause vitamin deficiencies, has been found to cause weakness in dogs, seizures, and possibly death

These foods are commonly found in American kitchens and should be kept away from consumption of dogs. Additionally keep alcohols, drugs, cleaning supplies, and automobile fluids away from areas where they are accessible by your dog. These items can cause serious internal damage or death very quickly to an animal no matter the dosage taken in. The health and safety of your dog depends on your ability to protect them from harmful items such as these.
