Most Dog Owners naturally love their dogs and are usually cautious with what they feed their dogs. However, there has always been a common mistake made by them in that they will sometimes feed their dogs with “people” foods. All too often, they think that doing this will not hurt their dogs.

It is not a matter if you seldom or often give your dog “people” food to eat; these “people” foods are still unsafe. They are fatal to your dog’s health.

You should always feed your dog carefully. Verify that the food you are giving him is safe from any toxins. You can achieve this by reading the dog food labels.

Here are some of the things to watch out for when we are dealing with “people” or table foods:

- As a rule of thumb, usually any food that is acidic is not a good food to be offering your dog. Acidity can damage the GI track of the dog, leading to a number of nasty side effects some of which include; vomiting, panting, fever, restlessness, the list goes on.

- Dogs have bad experiences with grapes. There were cases of kidney failure in dogs when they consume this fruit.

- Onions are also extremely poisonous to your dog as they affect the balance of red blood cells in the dog’s body.

- Coffee has been known to increase the heart rate of your dog. This can result in your dog suffering from GI track problems and seizures.

- Ibuprofen is the second leading cause of canine poisoning in the world. Your dog absolutely like the scent of this drug, so be sure to put it away out of your dog’s reach.

- Most Dog Owners have, at some point in time, given their dogs chocolate. Chocolate contains caffeine which can increase their heart rate, which will in turn lead to seizures.

- The world leader in canine poisoning is rat poison. Always take extra caution when placing rat traps around the house so that your dog will not be able to reach them.

You should give your dog the proper dog foods if you want him to be healthy. Don’t feed him “people” foods. Select only high quality, nutritional dog foods. If you have any doubt regarding the types of foods to feed your dog, consult with your veterinarian. Don’t just select any food.
