"People" Foods Destroy Your Dog's Health   by Joshua Hacken

Typically, dog owners love their dogs and will not do anything harmful such as feeding them with the inappropriate dog foods. Nevertheless, because of the ignorance of most people, they will sometimes give their dogs "people" food. They assume that since humans are safe to eat these foods, so does their dogs.

It does not matter if you feed your dog from the dinner table only on occasion or on a regular basis - there are dangerous "people" foods that should never be fed to your dog because some of these foods are like poison to your beloved dog.

Therefore you should always take extra caution when choosing the type of dog food to feed your dog. By reading the labels on your dog foods, you can make sure that the food you are giving him is safe and nourishing.

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.

- Grapes may result in the kidney failure of your dog, so make sure you don't feed him 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 is known to intensify your dog's heart rate. This may lead to your dog having seizures and GI track problems.

- 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 not feed your dog with "people" foods. Leave those foods to humans. It is very important that you always provide your dog with a highly nutritious and well-balanced diet. If you are not sure what to feed your dog, seek the advice of an experienced veterinarian.
