Many pets are curious. That's why they often want to try what their owner eats.

As a result, they try to steal a berry, a nut or a piece of cutlet. Some pet owners think that any product that is good for humans cannot harm a cat or a dog. But this is not true.

Veterinarian Elena Kaurkina spoke about this in more detail in a conversation with representatives of the publication Gazeta.Ru .

She noted that some products are harmful for our pets to eat. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, and kidneys are possible.

For example, grapes contain a substance that can cause kidney failure and reduce blood flow. There is a risk of death.

Pets also should not eat chocolate, nuts, or avocados.

The specialist added that it is forbidden to give pork that has not been processed. The meat contains a virus that can kill a cat or dog.

Therefore, it is very important to monitor the diet of four-legged friends, and if they swallow something from the prohibited list and begin to behave differently, it is important to contact a doctor in a timely manner.
