Worst 15 food items that are harmful for your dog!!!

From the day a pup is brought to the house, it becomes an integral part of the family. They sleep with you, play with you and eat with you. For them you are their world. But sometimes unknowingly we feed them stuff while we are eating, which can cause some trouble for your dog. Here is a list of food items that you should avoid feeding to your dog. Chocolate Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine which fall under the methylxanthines category. Chocolate can cause vomiting, dehydration, abdominal pains, severe agitation, muscle tremors, irregular heart rhythm, elevated body temperature, seizures and death in dogs. Alcohol Alcohol can cause not only intoxication, lack of coordination, poor breathing, and abnormal acidity, but potentially even coma and/or death. Milk Like humans, dogs can also suffer from lactose intolerance. Dogs don’t have the enzymes to break down milk sugar present in milk, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems. Cheese Like milk, cheese also has sugars and fatty components that dogs don’t have the necessary enzymes to break down. Onion Onions can damage red blood cells in dogs causing them to become weaker and move around less. If enough onions are consumed, a blood transfusion might be necessary. Macadamia Nuts The specific chemicals found in macadamias are still unknown right now, but they are known to cause a toxic reaction to dogs if ingested. Dogs will develop weakness and an inability to walk, specifically in their hind legs. Vomiting, staggering gait, depression, tremors and hypothermia. Garlic While the effect of garlic consumption to red blood cells won’t appear for a few days in dogs, they’ll be tired and reluctant to move. The dog’s urine will be orange to dark red in color. Like with onions, a blood transfusion might be required in severe cases. Grapes Grapes and raisins can cause rapid kidney failure. While it varies between dogs, symptoms may not show up in them. Other than kidney failure, dogs can also develop vomiting or diarrhea as well as a lethargic state. Dogs will also develop dehydration and lack of appetite. Death from kidney failure may occur within three to four days. Avocados Avocado leaves, pits, bark and fruit contain a toxin called persin. They can cause upset stomachs in dogs, breathing difficulties, fluid buildup in the chest, but the most dangerous thing for them seem to the be the pit. Since it’s slippery, the pit can accidentally be swallowed by dogs, leading to obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract. Apple The core of an apple (as well as plums, peaches, pears and apricots) contain cyanogenic glycosides which is also known as cyanide. Some of the symptoms that come from ingesting the toxin are dizziness, struggling to breathe, seizures, collapsing, hyperventilation, shock and even coma.
