Chocolate

Dogs love chocolate, but in fact, it is one of the most dangerous foods for them. Chocolate contains a toxic component called theobromine that is easily metabolized by humans, but dogs process it much more slowly, allowing it to build up to toxic levels in their system. It can cause them dehydration, abdominal pains, severe agitation, muscle tremors, seizures, and death. The darker the chocolate is, the more dangerous it is for your dog as white chocolates are less toxic.

Avocado

Avocado is known to be very healthy for humans, and it can be also delicious when prepared correctly, but your dog should avoid this fruit. Avocados contain a toxin called persin. Dogs can develop an upset stomach, breathing difficulties, and fluid buildup in the chest after eating an avocado. They can also swallow the big slippery pit that can cause serious problems in their stomach.

Onion


Many people love onions and foods that contain them, but this popular vegetable can be extremely harmful for our dogs. All onions — whether cooked or raw — are a big danger to dogs as it takes a very small amount of onions to poison them. Consumption of as little as 15 to 30 g/kg has resulted in clinically important hematologic changes. Onion toxicosis is consistently noted in animals that ingest more than 0.5% of their body weight in onions at one time.

Milk

Of course, puppies drink milk after they are born, but it does not mean milk is okay for them later in life. Milk contains some good stuff such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals, but it also contains lactose that many dogs are intolerant to as they lack an enzyme that would break down that type of sugar. Generally, milk might not be as life-threatening as some other foods on the list, but it can still cause serious problems to your doggie.

Coffee

Dogs and cats appear to be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than people. While 1-2 laps of coffee will not contain enough caffeine to cause poisoning in most pets, the ingestion of moderate amounts of coffee grounds can easily cause death in small dogs. When ingested, signs of hyperactivity, vomiting, an elevated heart rate, hypertension, tremors, hyperthermia, seizures, and other difficulties can occur.

Cheese

When consumed in moderation, cheese might not pose a big threat to your dog, but if he happens to eat too much cheese, he might suffer from diarrhea, flatulence, bloating, constipation, and other digestive upsets. Apart from problems with breaking down lactose, some dogs may also have difficulty processing the high fat content found in some cheeses.

Apples

Apple flesh is harmless to dogs in moderation, but apple seeds are poisonous not to just dogs but to every living thing. The seeds contain amygdalin, a form of cyanide which prevents the blood from carrying oxygen throughout the body. Eating just a few apple seeds should not be a big problem, but if your dog happens to eat too many of them, he might experience breathing problems, seizures, collapse, and even coma.

Grapes

Grapes (and raisins too) are bad for some dogs as they can cause rapid renal failure (kidney failure). The exact mechanism behind the kidney failure after consumption of grapes or raisins is still unknown, but what is known is that it affects just about 33% of dogs. In the affected dogs, just a few grapes might be enough to cause them serious health problems, so make sure to keep this fruit off the places that your dog can reach.

Ice Cream

Just like every dairy product, ice cream contains lactose that some dogs might have troubles digesting. There are also more reasons why you should not give ice cream to your dog. As it usually contains a considerable amount of sugar, it can cause dental problems and obesity. Dogs who eat ice cream too often may even have more serious health problems including diabetes

Raw Eggs

Raw eggs are rich in vitamins and nutrients, but there are two problems with giving them to your dog. First, there is always the possibility of food poisoning from bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli. Second, some enzymes in raw eggs might interfere with the absorption of a particular B vitamin. This can cause skin problems as well as problems with your dog’s coat if he has been eating them for a long time.
Re: Harmful Foods Your Puppy Shouldn’t Eat by RoyalBlak007: 7:30pm On Oct 06, 2016
Bones

As surprising as it might seem, dogs should not get bones. Annually, thousands of dogs end up in the emergency care center of vet hospitals because of bones. In fact, dogs are omnivores, not carnivores, meaning their bodies are not adapted for bone eating. Of course, dogs love bones, but they cannot consume them safely since the bones can splinter or get lodged in the dog’s throat or intestinal tract, eventually leading to serious injuries and even death.

my gsd's vet doctor said we should always give him raw egg+milk every morning so he can add more weight and he's already getting bigger everyday.
