Foods you should not give to your Dog

You may not be aware of it, but some treats that we give to our dogs might be toxic either in small or large amounts. These foods should be avoided at all cost if we want our bestfriends to live a long and happy life.

Here they are:

1. First and foremost, do not give cooked bones to your pet. Cooked bones splinters and could destroy the intestinal tract of the dog's digestive system.

2. Chocolates,coffee,tea and other caffeinated drinks are also bad. It disrupts the heart and nervous system of dogs.

3. Avoid giving your dogs grapes and raisins. They contain unknown toxins that damages the kidney.

4. Large amounts of cooked liver causes Vitamin A toxicity which impacts muscles and bones.

5. Keep your dog away from nuts it might choke your pet because fo their small size. Keep them also from mushrooms, onions and garlic.

6. Bread is also bad for dogs. It could cause bloating which is a very serious medical case for dogs. It could kill them in a matter of hours.

If you think your dogs ingested some of these toxic food, call your vet for immediate assistance as soon as possible.
