It is important to monitor your pet's diet. Its health depends on it.
It is important to understand that you cannot feed the animal from your table.
Still, some products that are safe for humans can cause severe poisoning in dogs. Let's look at the top 5 most popular products that are mistakenly given to dogs.
Bones
At first glance, it seems logical that you can give your pet the bones left on the table. But this is a mistake.
Rib bones, particularly pork ones, are too fatty for a dog's digestive tract and can cause pancreatitis.
Cooked bones, especially tubular chicken and fish bones, break into fragments, which means they can easily injure the gastrointestinal tract, throat, and even lead to suffocation.
Fatty foods
It leads to an increase in cholesterol levels in the blood and harms the intestines.
Raw meat
This is already a potential source of bacterial infections and parasite infestation. Therefore, if you want to treat your pet with such a product, it is important to freeze or boil the meat in advance.
Bread
Any pet will also happily enjoy a bun or a piece of bread, but you need to understand that this will soon cause stomach problems and gas formation.
Chocolate
If an animal tries to steal a sweet from the table or begs for a piece of chocolate, you should not give in to manipulation. For example, chocolate contains elements that can lead to poisoning and poor health.
