Dog Health Care and The Food Your Pet Shouldn't Eat
If you have a pet dog then you always want the best for it.You are also very likely to be the sort of owner who is easily persuaded to feed your dog food for people from the table. However, the problem with this well meant act is that many human foods are very toxic to dogs and may lead to serious dog health care problems.
One example of a food we regularly enjoy that could seriously jeopardise dog health care is chocolate. Most people are vaguely aware that it isn’t good for dogs but it is actually very dangerous for them to eat.Some of the problems that it causes are much faster heart rate, hallucinations, diarrhoea, seizures, internal bleeding, heart attacks and potentially even death. Because even a small chocolate bar could be enough to kill a dog, depending on its size, it really isn’t worth taking the risk. If your dog eats chocolate you should try and make it sick and consult a vet as soon as possible.
Few dogs are that inclined to eat grapes and raisins anyway, preferring instead to eat meet, but these fruits are actually incredibly dangerous to dog health care. Grapes and raisins will cause kidney failure and death in dogs, if enough are eaten.The amount of raisins and grapes a dog can eat before becoming seriously ill depends on its size and breed, but it is obviously better not to take the dog health care risk.
Macadamia nuts and onions also pose a threat to dog health care.Ingesting them may lead to stiffness, shaking, hyperthermia and abdominal pain.
Although we rarely see drunken dogs, it is true that a dog that has drunk alcohol will bahve in a similar way to a human who is intoxicated. Obviously, jus tlike it does to humans, alcohol can leave a dog feeling very poorly. However, if the alcohol is beer there is a further problem. Dog health care is jeopardised by the hops which are used to make the beer.The hops can cause malignant hyperthermia in dogs, more often than not leading to death.Again, the dog’s tolerance of the hops is affected by breed, with greyhounds known for their intolerance to hops.
Whilst as a dog owner you may be confident that you are familiar with general dog health care, it is important to follow this advice to keep your furry friend in the best shape.
