13 Foods That Could Kill Your Pet
1. Grapes and Raisins: Causes kidney failure and death for dogs. Even a small single serving can kill a dog.
2. Onions: They kill red blood cells which causes anemia in your pet.
3. Chocolate: Seizures, coma, and death can result from your dog consuming chocolate. More concentrated chocolate such as chocolate used for baking is the most lethal to your pets. Even milk chocolate is still dangerous.
4. Coffee, Coffee grounds, tea and tea bags: Drinks/foods with caffeine in them cause similar symptoms to what chocolate causes.
5. Macadamia Nuts and Walnuts: Muscle tremor, paralysis, and weakness are a result of the consumption of macadamia nuts and walnuts. Bladder stones also come about from other types of nuts as well, so avoid feeding your pet nuts. Peanut Butter seems to be the exception to the rule. Make sure to use organic (salt/sugar free) peanut butter. Regular peanut butter contains toxins, and is full of pesticides.
6. Animal fat and fried foods: Pancreatitis can result from too much animal fat or fried foods, so avoid feeding things like fried chicken, too much red meat, etc. It can also lead to obesity as well if too much is eaten, which can lead to diabetes.
7. Bones: They can splinter, and if swallowed lead to damaging of internal organs.
8. Tomatoes: Heart arrythmias and tremors may result from your pet consuming tomatoes.
9. Avocados: Found in guacamole this fruit is very toxic to your pet. It causes difficulty breathing and leads to fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart.
10. Nutmeg: If consumed it can lead to tremors, seizures and death.
11. Pits and Seeds of Apples, Cherries, Peaches, etc are extremely poisonous to both dogs and humans. The fruit itself is great, but dogs will not stop eating once they reach the core/pit. Dogs have reported being dead within 24 hours of consumption.
12. Raw eggs: Just like in humans if too much is eaten they could cause your pet to get samonella poisoning.
13. Salt: Large amounts of salt can lead to kidney issues for your dog or cat.
This is a not a complete list of harmful items, but please talk to your vet if you have any questions about harmful items to feed your pet. Try to stick with regular dog or cat food, and for the best results you can control how much your pet eats with an automatic pet feeder.
