Foods Dogs Should Not Eat

Foods Dogs Should Not Eat

Chocolate: contains methlxantines which dogs are unable to break down. When built up in the body it becomes harmful to the central nervous system and heart.

Avocados: contain a fungicidal toxin called persin. This substance in large amounts can become toxic.

Onions: contains thiosulphates and organosulfur which dogs lack the enzyme to break down. Given in large or small doses over an extended period of time is poisonous. Symptoms may not be present in the beginning but can include discolored urine, gastrointestinal discomfort, anemia, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Caffeine: like chocolate, caffeine contains methlxanthines. If enough caffeine is consumed symptoms can include: rapid heart rate, tremors, seizures, coma, and even death.

Grapes/Raisins: little is known why grapes and raisins are so toxic for dogs, but it is thought to be related to a mycotixic. This is a secondary toxic that is produced by the fruit, like those found in avocados. Even small amounts of this fruit can cause kidney damage and failure.

Macadamia Nuts: similar to grapes there is little known as to why macadamia nuts are so toxic to dogs.  After ingestion symptoms of poisoning may not appear for up to 12 hours. These symptoms can include vomiting, stiffness, weakness, difficulty walking, tremors, and death. It is important to contact a veterinarian immediately.

Bread Dough: Dough doesn’t seem dangerous but because it expands it can cause gastrointestinal problems such as ruptured intestines. Symptoms include labored breathing, excess gas and urination, weakness, seizures, cardiac arrest, and death.

Mushrooms: the toxin build up from eating mushrooms can cause the body to go into shock resulting in possible long term damage or even death.

What to do if Your Dog Eats Chocolate

Theobromine is a molecule found in cacao plants which remain in after being processed into a chocolate candy. Unfortunately dogs are unable to process therobromine because they lack the enzymes needed to break these molecules apart. Since there are different types of chocolate ranging in different amount of pure cocoa, not all chocolate will have the same effects. The worst type of chocolate your dog can have is bakers chocolate, followed by dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.

If your dog has eaten chocolate the first thing you need to do is find out what kind of chocolate is was and how much they have eaten.  Even if your dog has only eaten a small amount of chocolate it is important to call your veterinarian. They will be able to tell you how to induce vomiting or whether it is necessary to come in to have their stomach pumped. Even a few small pieces of chocolate can be fatal for small breeds.

Symptoms of chocolate poisoning in your dog include:

• Vomiting/Diarrhea
• Hyperactivity
• Arrhythmia
• Tremors/Muscle Twitching
• Increased Thirst and Urination
• Seizures/Stumbling/Coma

If your dog has eaten the chocolate within the last 2 hours, it has likely not yet been absorbed by the body. In this inducing vomiting may be an option. To do so you can give a hydrogen peroxide and water solution. Dosage will vary so it is important to consult with your vet office to precise measurements and administration of this solution. You may also buy activated charcoal for dogs. This will absorb the toxic chemicals before they can become poisonous to your dog. Activated charcoal can be bought online and at select pet stores.

What to do if your dog eats chocolate:

1. When/What/How much chocolate did your dog eat.

2. Call your veterinarian office to discuss any necessary emergency care and/or induced vomiting.

3. Use Activated Charcoal to absorb toxins not yet dispersed in the body.
