Harmful Dog Food Guide

Just like humans, dogs are also prone to allergies and complications caused by food intake. There are certain dog foods that are considered harmful and even fatal if eaten by your k9 fellow.

Take for instance, dog bones. We often associate dogs as animals who love eating bones, but did you know that such food, either cooked or raw, can be harmful? Bones are not an advisable diet for dogs because they can puncture their internal organs and result to obstruction, specifically in the digestive system, if not properly chewed and swallowed. It is more recommended that you let your canine friend eat soft and wet foods that are easy to digest. Bones are dry, harmful dog food that can cause an upset stomach and dyspepsia.

There are also some vegies and fruits that are detrimental to dog's health. Root crops such as onions and garlic are some of them. These vegetables are very toxic and can damage the kidneys of your pet. Tomatoes are unsafe for dogs too. Experts say this citrus fruit can result to canine tremors and heart arrhythmias. Mushrooms are also toxic and harmful dog food, commonly instigating abdominal disorder, diarrhea, even coma as side effects.

The One Mistake Most Pet Owners Make

It's hard to think of anybody who wouldn't love to have a happy, healthy pet. Unfortunately, many people are unaware that what they are doing to their pets is causing them to suffer needlessly. So to look at pet health problems you must first look at yourself.

Firstly, what are you feeding your pet that is harmful? Nothing you might say. But look a little closer. Read the ingredients label on your pet food product. If you find any of the following ingredients be alarmed: “by-product”, “corn”, “wheat”, “soy”, “meat and bone meal”, chemicals like “BHA”, “BHT”, or “Ethoxyquin”, or any artificial colors or flavors like “sulfur dioxide”.

It is important to remember that pet health problems are best solved before they become a problem. After all, prevention is always better than cure, especially when the cure often involves pumping toxic drugs into your pet. This brings me to my second point.

Immunizing your pet each year means you are pumping large amounts of chemicals into their little bodies. You immunize your pet against diseases, right? But do you realize that by feeding your pet a nutritious diet you can prevent these diseases from talking hold. Once prevented immunization becomes unnecessary.
