If you’re the owner of a dog, you should know about the foods that turn fatal to the pet. Some foods which are not harmful to humans make dogs ill overnight

Avocado

No matter how good the guacamole is, you shouldnt give it to your dog. Avocados contain a substance called persin that is harmless for people who arent allergic but it may be toxic to dogs.

Alcohol

Beer, liquor, wine and foods containing alcohol- none of them are good for dogs. Alcohol has the same effect on a dogs liver and brain as it has on humans. But it takes far less to do its damage. Just a little can cause vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, problems with coordination, difficulty breathing, coma and even death. The smaller dogs have greater effects. 

Onions and garlic

Powdered, raw, cooked, or dehydrated onions and garlic can destroy a dogs red blood cells, leading to anemia. It can happen even with the onion powder found in some baby food. An occasional small dose is probably okay. But just eating a large quantity once or eating smaller amounts regularly can cause poisoning. Symptoms of anemia include weakness, vomiting, little interest in food, dullness and breathlessness.

Coffee, tea and other caffeine

Caffeine in large quantities can be fatal for dogs. Symptoms of caffeine poisoning include restlessness, rapid breathing, heart palpitations, muscle tremors, fits and bleeding. In addition to tea and coffee, including beans and grounds, caffeine can be found in cocoa, chocolate, colas, and stimulant drinks such as Red Bull.

Grapes and raisins

Grapes and raisins have often been used as treats for dogs. But its not a good idea. Just a small amount can make a dog ill. It isnt clear how grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. Repeated vomiting is an early sign. Within a day, the dog will become lethargic and depressed.

Milk and other dairy products

On a hot day, it may be tempting to share your ice cream cone with your dog. But it would thank you for not doing so. Milk and milk-based products can cause diarrhea, other digestive problems and food allergies.

Macadamia nuts

Dogs should not eat macadamia nuts or foods containing macadamia nuts because they can be fatal. As few as six raw or roasted macadamia nuts can make a dog ill. Symptoms of poisoning include muscle tremors, weakness, paralysis, vomiting, elevated body temperature and rapid heart rate.

¤ Underage drinking is a risk that attracts many adolescents and teens. When young people try alcohol, they often don’t realize about the damaging effects of drinking on their lives, their families, and their communities. Besides being illegal, underage drinking is a widespread public health problem that poses many risks. According to statistics, in 2009 alone, about 10.4 million young people between the age 12 and 20, drank more than “just a few sips” of alcohol.
