Happy Friday!!! We all want to share everything we have with our furry friends, but you could be feeding them something very deadly without even knowing it. You should always know all the ingredients that are in whatever you eat and your dog. You might think you are being helpful to your dog by just feeding him whatever you are eating but some of the ingredients in your food may not be healthy for them. I have seen it many times of a dog being brought in because they either got into something or their owner fed it to them not knowing it was harmful.
Here are all the safety tips on feeding your dog human food:
We all love to share our food with our dogs. Whether it’s a toast crust at the breakfast table or leftover casserole for dinner, the dogs seem to enjoy the treat.
There are some foods we eat that are potentially deadly to our dogs.
Most people know that chocolate is not good for dogs. The active ingredient, theobromine, can cause vomiting and diarrhea, and if your dog eats enough, may lead to seizures, coma and death. How much chocolate is too much? That depends on your dog’s weight, and the type of chocolate he’s eaten. Dark cooking chocolate contains the most theobromine – 1400mg per 100g of chocolate. The toxic dose of theobromine is 100-150mg per kilo body weight. So, if you do the mathematics, half of a 250g block of dark chocolate is enough to make a 10kg, or 22lb, dog very sick indeed.
