Coffee
We find in coffee a stimulating drink due to its trimelthylxanthine content. In addition to addiction, the consumption of this substance has strong stimulant effects in the central nervous system and in others of the cardiovascular system. They are also present in tea or cola.
As with humans, too much coffee has serious consequences for the body causing vomiting, agitation and can even cause death.
Chocolate
As we mentioned in our article on why dogs can't eat chocolate, dogs are unable to metabolize theobromine, that's why chocolate considers it a prohibited food for puppies.
Offering chocolate in excessive doses can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration and can even cause the death of dogs. Still, although it only gives you small pieces, it is also a harmful product as it increases cardiac contractility.
milk and cheese
As with chocolate, puppies are unable to metabolize milk, for this reason we should not offer them. It's a product not deadly but harmful that causes vomiting, diarrhea and various gastrointestinal problems.
We should only offer our puppy specific milk during its growth phase.
Cheese is not as harmful as milk, however its abuse can lead to problems such as pancreatitis or more serious problems if our dog is lactose intolerant. Therefore, we must avoid this type of food.
Yeast or yeast
The conventional yeasts we use for cakes and other recipes are converted into a toxic product inside the dog's body. The consequences can be the accumulation of gas, vomiting, pain, malaise and lethargy.
Dry fruits
We must eliminate any traces of nuts of our dog's diet for its large amount of phosphorus. The effects of an excessive intake can be vomiting, muscle pain, weakness, dizziness, tremors, kidney failure and even fever in the dog.
Some fruits can be really lethal as is the case of macadamia nuts, in addition they can cause the appearance of calculi.
salt
Too much salt is harmful to your dog's health, vomiting or diarrhea are visible symptoms, but there are more serious consequences that we cannot observe. Puppies with heart problems can be more affected and aggravate their situation if they ingest it.
Alcohol
Although we don't believe that anyone is able to offer alcohol, the truth is that it can happen by accident if we don't have the bottles well kept and hidden from our pet. An excess causes symptoms similar to humans, toxicity affects the dog causing vomiting and even an ethylic coma.
raw eggs
If you are going to use eggs in the BARF diet, you must make sure of their quality and good condition before offering them. THE possibility of contracting salmonella it is the same that can happen to us.
However, the boiled egg is a very beneficial product for our pet, we can cook it and offer it once a week to our dog to improve the shine of the coat. It is also a source of protein and taurine.
Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables should be present in the dog's diet (about 15%) and their consumption should be regular. In our article on forbidden fruits and vegetables for dogs we explain which are the most harmful.
Undoubtedly, the most important thing to know is the avocado for its high content in persin, toxins and vegetable fat that make its consumption a real risk to the health of our dog. It is a toxic food, the most serious consequences can be pancreatitis, deficiencies in the pulmonary system and can even affect the heart.
Citrus fruits are not toxic foods but the truth is that their high sugar content can lead to obesity and its excess can cause intestinal discomfort.
In just one intake of onions, garlic, leeks or chives we can cause toxicity in the dog along with a high risk of anemia. The repetitive ingestion of this type of food can cause very serious and irreparable health problems.
At grape directly affect the dog's liver and kidneys and may even develop kidney failure if consumption is habitual. Remember that seeds and seeds must always be removed from the food, it is the most toxic part of it.
As with humans, the potato Raw is a toxic product inside our body. We can offer it without a problem whenever we cook it first.
