Pets and everything else under the sky.

Everyone who owns a dog likes to spoil them every now and again by giving them some of their own food. And there’s no denying the dog will love you for it; however, you should be very careful what you give them as often their digestive system cannot handle it.

Some of our favorites are the worst for your pooch, including coffee, chocolate, and tea. Any food that contains caffeine has the potential to be lethal for your dog. This is because it contains theobromine, an ingredient that can damage your dog’s nerves and heart.

Caffeine isn’t the only thing you shouldn’t give your dog though. Another less obvious food to avoid is plums and grapes. An unknown toxin within these two fruits can cause severe kidney damage to your pet, and should be avoided at all costs.

If you run out of dog food, don’t think that you can substitute a cat food you have on stock. Dog food and cat food are made differently and the latter contains too much protein and fats. This could be potentially harmful to your dog, leading to various illnesses in the future.

Another thing you should avoid giving your dog is macadamia nuts as they can be dangerous. Even small amounts can cause problems with the digestive system and his nerves. Also, it can have a degenerative affect on his musculature.

Many dogs have allergies that you should know about, particularly from products containing wheat. Most dog food brands come with a wheat-free dog food so that your dog can eat without suffering adverse side effects.

There are other types of food that are not healthy for your dog. If you think that something could cause obstruction, such as fish scraps and small bones, don’t give it to your four legged friend.

These are just some of the dangerous food types that you might give your dog without knowing how detrimental they could be.
