Dogs always have a good appetite and are ready to share any meal with their owner. The main thing is that the owner knows and remembers which products are best not to try for the pet.

The list is not so long, and the products are not so exquisite that they should be forgotten. Many often appear on tables.

Experts have compiled a TOP 5 list of food products that are most harmful to dogs.

Chocolate

This is a toxic dessert in a dog's diet. It can cause vomiting and diarrhea, and in some cases, seizures and death.

Absolutely any chocolate is harmful, except for that made for animals.

Chewing gum and candy

Not all of them, but those that contain xylitol. If your dog eats a pack of chewy candies, it won't hurt to flush his stomach.

When such products enter the body, they cause vomiting, disorientation and other unpleasant symptoms.

Grape

Even raisins can cause kidney problems and poisoning. There is a high probability of dehydration and kidney failure.

Only timely intervention by a veterinarian can save the dog.

Garlic and onion

A dog is unlikely to eat onions or garlic in their raw form, but processed products containing these vegetables in dry or other form can cause weakness and lethargy.

If the urine also becomes red or orange, the dog will need to be taken to the vet.

Alcohol

The dog's body does not absorb or digest alcohol. Vomiting occurs, coordination of movement is impaired, and disorientation in space occurs.
