Foods That can kill Dogs
Video Rating: / 5

In this video, we will talk about 12 human foods that dogs can enjoy. From peanut butter to bread and yogurt, stay tuned to find out more.

Peanut butter
The good news is that regular peanut butter with no added sugar and salt is safe for dogs to have as a treat. It only becomes dangerous when the peanut butter contains xylitol, which is a sugar substitute found in many sugar-free products. Xylitol is extremely poisonous to dogs.
Dairy products
Dogs can have milk. But be cautious. Some dogs are lactose-intolerant, which means their gut can’t digest milk well. A few tablespoons of cow’s milk or goat milk can be a nice reward for your canine.
If your dog likes dairy products, you can give them plain yogurt instead, which is typically easier to digest than regular milk.
Bread
Plain white and wheat bread is generally safe for dogs to eat in moderation.
However, not all breads are harmless. Some breads contain toxic ingredients that should never be fed to dogs.
Garlic or onions, for example, are ingredients found in bread that can be toxic to canines, causing serious side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, and collapse. And some breads contain nuts, seeds or xylitol, which appeal to humans for their flavor and health benefits, but can cause problems for dogs. And the biggest danger comes from raisins. Raisins are highly toxic for dogs and are sometimes found in breads and baked goods. Even a few raisins can be dangerous. So always be sure to double-check the ingredients first.
Watermelon
It’s safe for dogs to eat watermelon with a couple of precautions. First, seeds could cause an intestinal blockage, so make sure you remove them. It’s also a good idea to remove the rind because it can cause a gastrointestinal upset.
Watermelon is a great source of vitamins, and is a very nutritional treat to feed your dog. The fruit has high water content and it works great to hydrate your dog in a hot summer day.
Other fruits such as blueberries, cantaloupe, strawberries, bananas, and mangoes also make excellent snacks as they are full of vitamins and minerals, and they are high in fiber too.
Likewise, apples are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber for your dog. They are low in protein and fat, making them the perfect snack for senior dogs. Just be sure to remove the seeds and core first.
Avocado and grapes should never be given to dogs though, as they have been proven to be very toxic for canines.
Chicken
Chicken is safe for dogs. Most vets warn against raw chicken from the grocery store because of the risk of salmonella or other bacterial contamination.
Feed your dog cooked chicken without any seasoning, onions or garlic.
And be sure to take cooked chicken off the bone. Cooked chicken bones splinter easily, which can cause choking or a gastrointestinal tract puncture
Eggs
Eggs are safe and beneficial for dogs. Essentially the entire egg, including the eggshell, can be nutritious for your pet. Most vets recommend cooking eggs before feeding them to your canine. Raw eggs can be a source of Salmonella.
White rice
Dogs can eat rice. In fact, many veterinarians recommend rice as a great food for dogs suffering from common gastrointestinal issues. One of the reasons white rice is the chosen grain for a dog with an upset stomach is that it’s easy to digest, quick to prepare, and low in fiber. Rice also contains soluble fiber which helps to stabilize and bind the stool.
Pork
Unfortunately, ham and bacon aren’t good for dogs.
Bacon is an incredibly fatty food with a high salt content, which can prove to be too much for a dog’s stomach to handle. Ham also has a dangerously high salt content.
However, not all pork meat is completely off the doggy menu.
Bone Broth
Bone broth is made by simmering bones in water for a long time. It contains plenty of nutrients that can be beneficial to your dog. Bone broth is also packed with minerals and vitamin and most importantly, dogs actually love its flavor. It helps your dog live their happiest, healthiest life.
Carrots
Want your canine to have strong teeth? Give them a carrot. Crunching on this orange veggie is fun and it helps remove the plaque from the teeth. This healthy, low-calorie snack is a great source of vitamin A for dogs, and it builds immunity, promotes good health, and gives your pet a healthy skin.
Coconut meat
Coconut meat is just as healthy as the coconut oil. The meat of the fruit is packed with healthy carbs, fats, and proteins that build strong muscles and generate energy to fuel our canine companions.
Coconut is also rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and is praised for its ability to improve a dog’s skin and coat.
Pineapple
Pineapple is not only safe for your dog to eat, but packs a nutrient-dense punch. It’s a tangy fruit that’s filled with minerals and vitamins that help support your dog’s health.

The chemical releases cyanide when digested and enter the dog’s bloodstream. Don’t fret, however, if they mistakenly eat one or two of the seed as the chemical can only be injurious if it is found in large quantity.

10. Avocado
Avocado is one of the fruits that may require the attention of a vet if eaten by your dog. Avocado contains a fungicidal toxin called Persin that can cause diarrhea, nausea or vomiting and heart congestion. The Avocado’s pit is loaded with Persin and is, therefore, the most dangerous part of an Avocado.

9. Xylitol or Artificial Sweetener

7. Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages are known to cause intoxication and dogs are not an exemption. In addition, alcohol may cause poor coordination, abnormal acidity, difficult breathing, it could be as bad as putting them in a coma or even death.

6. Milk & Dairy Products
Dogs do not have enough enzymes like lactase that can break down lactose in milk. Therefore, milk and dairy products can cause digestive problems and also trigger food allergies. However small consumption is not worth worrying about.

5. Chocolate
Chocolate might be yummy but not for dogs! it contains a stimulant known as theobromine and a bit of caffeine. This stimulant affect dog’s organs like guts, heart, kidney and central nervous system. The symptoms in dogs are vomiting, diarrhea, a spike in heartbeat, seizure, and hyperactivities. These symptoms might start manifesting after four to twenty-four hours of consumption. Although the amount of theobromine in the dog system and thus the symptoms depend on the quantity and the type of chocolate.

One of the many causes of weakness, depression, tremors, vomiting and increased body temperature in a dog is macadamia nuts. Within 12 hours of consumption the symptom can be popping out and this could last for 12 to 48 hours. it could also be lethal especially when ingested together with chocolate.

3. Grapes & Raisins
Grapes and raisins are injurious to dogs as this can cause kidney failure. It is not a matter of quantity as a small amount can make a dog ill. Even though it is still until unknown as to the toxic substance responsible there are stories of dogs dying from a small chunk of grapes and raisins and experts have likewise agreed that there is safe dosage.

2. Human Vitamins
Human vitamin contains 100% of the mineral recommended as a daily intake by a human. This could, however, cause an overdose in dogs. It is therefore not recommended to feed your dog with your vitamin supplement.

1. Raw Fish
Among the food poisoning in a dog is raw fish as they contain bacteria that could be toxic. More so, some fish do have a parasite that causes “fish disease” or “salmon poisoning disease” the symptom of which are fever and enlarged lymph nodes. If you want to feed your dogs with fish, feed them cooked fish as the parasite must have been killed.
