Dogs Are Always Sick, Have You Fed Them These Foods?
People who love dogs usually keep one they like and always want to keep it healthy, so they feed it food they think is good. But they find their dogs are always sick and can't find the cause. Today, this editor will list some foods that harm dogs.
Onions and scallion vegetables
Both dogs and cats cannot eat onions and scallion vegetables because they contain propyl disulfide, which destroys hemoglobin and causes anemia in dogs or cats. Dogs and cats show symptoms such as decreased appetite, vomiting, and gradually darkening urine.
Green tomatoes and raw potatoes
Nightshade plants contain solanine alkaloids, which cause strong discomfort in the lower digestive tract of cats and dogs, and even gastrointestinal bleeding; the skin of potatoes is also toxic, but can be eaten after cooking.
Chocolate
Chocolate contains caffeine and cocoa alkaloids. If cats and dogs eat it, they will appear vomiting or diarrhea in a very short time, and in serious cases, they may cause heart disease in cats and dogs.
Citrus peel
If dogs ingest or long-term contact high-containing citrus extract, mildly, it will cause vomiting and gastrointestinal discomfort, seriously, it will cause liver cell necrosis because the liver cannot metabolize.
Raw eggs
Some owners feed dogs eggs every day to make their hair more shiny. However, here the editor wants to emphasize that it is best to feed dogs cooked eggs. Because raw eggs contain antibiotic enzymes, which will reduce the absorption of vitamin B, and long-term consumption will lead to skin and hair problems. And raw egg yolks need to pay attention to the quality of eggs to prevent Salmonella.
Any alcoholic beverage
Some owners feed dogs some alcoholic drinks to let them appear intoxicated, which is not good for dogs.
Because cats and dogs have poor liver detoxification function, consuming alcohol will put a burden on the liver, causing poisoning, and leading to coma.
Sugar
Foods containing xylitol cannot be given to dogs. Even a small amount of xylitol will cause kidney failure in dogs. Therefore, when pet owners choose toothpaste, they must first check if it contains xylitol.
If some owners have fed their dogs the above foods, they should change them immediately, otherwise, if dogs get sick or have any problems, it's too late to regret.
