🐾 Those puppy dog eyes are hard to resist… especially when you’re snacking. But before you accidentally share the love, you might want to check what’s actually safe for your furry friend. 🛑
Some of our go-to treats can be downright dangerous for dogs. Here are 7 human foods that should never end up in your pup’s bowl:
❌ Chocolate – Delicious for us, toxic for them. Chocolate can cause tummy trouble and heart issues in dogs. Keep it high, out of reach, and all yours.
❌ Grapes & Raisins – Just a few can harm your dog’s kidneys. Yep, they’re tiny but super toxic.
❌ Onions & Garlic – Flavour bombs in our meals, but they can damage your dog’s red blood cells and cause anemia. Hard pass.
❌ Xylitol – Found in sugar-free gum, lollies and even peanut butter. It can cause dangerous blood sugar crashes. Always check the label!
❌ Avocados – Guac might be life, but not for your dog. Persin (found in avocado) can be toxic to them.
❌ Macadamia Nuts – These fancy nuts can cause weakness, tremors, and more. Better safe than sorry.
❌ Alcohol – No celebratory sips for pups. Even small amounts can lead to serious health issues.
🦴 When in doubt, stick to treats made just for dogs – and save your snacks for the humans.
