Pet alert: 10 dangerous food items for your puppy's well-being

Although many times the desire to feed the pet dog with foods other than food is very strong, it is necessary to be very careful.

That's because there are some types of food commonly consumed by humans that are extremely harmful to the health of man's best friend, regardless of the animal's breed.

We've identified 10 of these foods and put together an alert list for you, who raises one or more dogs. Check it out below!

1. Avocado

The first item on our list is the nutritious avocado, one of the fruits most consumed by humans and also by some other species of animals.

However, despite being tasty and nutritious, avocado has in its composition a substance called persina, which, while not affecting humans to any degree, can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in dogs.

So never give your dog avocado to eat!

2. Garlic

Garlic contains a substance called thiosulphate, which can cause anemia and other blood problems in dogs.

So, it is extremely important to be careful never to include this seasoning in the preparation of food offered to your pet.

3. Greasy food

Foods such as pizza, french fries, hamburgers and other fatty foods should be completely forbidden for dogs.
This is because the consumption of fried foods and fats can cause pancreatitis, a severe inflammation that can lead to pancreas cancer and the consequent death of your animal.

No sharing lunch with your puppy!

4. Coffee

Caffeine, a substance present in drinks such as coffee and mate tea, is another compound that can be highly harmful to your pet's health as it has a direct effect on the system nervous of him.

This disturbance in the nervous system can result in several symptoms, from hyperactivity to tremors and increased aggression in the pet.

Remember: Your dog's bowl should only contain drinking water, nothing else.

In addition, chocolate contains caffeine, which, as we explained above, can affect your little friend's nervous system.

Although not completely prohibited for dogs to consume, milk should be avoided in the diet of pets.

As with many humans, some dogs have lactose intolerance, which can cause various digestive discomforts, such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, for example.

8. raw dough

In its raw state, dough for making cakes, breads, pizzas and even some types of snacks can be extremely harmful to the health of your pet dog.

Therefore, never offer pasta to your animal when you are preparing any of the foods mentioned above!
