It was previously thought that dogs who obsessively lick themselves was due to anxiety. However, a recent study showed this is not true. The majority of dogs who obsessively lick themselves had digestive issues.

The toxicity level of chocolate and cocoa will depend on just how much is consumed, how much your dog weighs and the kind of chocolate that has been ingested. Theobromine, the molecule in chocolate that is poisonous to dogs and cats, is metabolized very slowly, this pushes the concentration to toxic levels within the pet’s body. Dark chocolate, cocoa, and bakery chocolate have more theobromine, while white chocolate and milk chocolate have lower levels of the toxic molecule.

If your dog consumes chocolate, don’t wait for the symptoms to appear, call your vet as soon as possible.

Low amounts of chocolate might lead to moderate GI issues like throwing up or diarrhea. Large amounts can produce hyperactivity, followed by trembling, arrhythmia, seizures, internal bleeding, and, in the most severe cases, cardiac arrest. Under 30 grams of dark chocolate is toxic for a dog that weighs 44 pounds

When dogs consume grapes or raisins, the most serious health issue can be abrupt kidney failure, which is life-threatening. Less severe symptoms can include appetite loss, unusual weakness, and stillness, throwing up and diarrhea, stomach pains, thirst, and dehydration.

If you believe your dog has found and ate raisins or grapes, treatment is very important. Contact your vet immediately for assistance and guidance.

Many of the holiday celebration dishes and food include raisins or grapes and are therefore a danger for your dog. Research has still not been able to fully identify what compound within the fruit is the one that triggers this serious response. That’s why even peeled and seedless grapes ought to be avoided. That’s also why there is no specific limit that is acceptable and safe, so please make sure your dog doesn’t find any to eat.

Onions, garlic, leeks, and chives all have a compound called n-propyl disulphide that is harmful to dogs and can harm the red blood cells. Unlike with grapes where even a small amount can be harmful, in this case, with onions and the others, the ingested quantity actually matters. Normally if your dog consumes a little nothing will occur, but as with chocolate, it’ll also depend on the size of your dog and if the compound has been accumulating within the system.

Consumption can lead to hemolytic anemia, caused by damage to the dog’s red blood cells. Symptoms include weakness, sleepiness, appetite loss, and pale-coloured gums. Your dog may also throw up, pant, and have a high heart rate. If you suspect your dog has eaten onion, garlic, and any of the other ones and you see some of the symptoms call your veterinarian right away.

XYLITOL (ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER)
In dogs, xylitol produces a strong release of pancreatic insulin. This in turn produces a strong and quick drop in blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). This can all happen within 10 to 60 minutes after ingesting the food containing xylitol. If left without treatment, hypoglycemia can be lethal.

Some sugar-free foods include xylitol, an artificial sweetener in a class referred to as sugar-alcohol. It’s widely used in a variety of daily items, for example, breath mints, cough syrup, chewable vitamins, mouthwash, toothpaste, dietary supplements, baked products, sugar-free desserts, sugar-free sweets, and chocolate bars (chocolate is bad enough for your dog without adding xylitol!).

Signs of xylitol poisoning in dogs include throwing up and symptoms related to hypoglycemia, like reduced activity, weakness, staggering, lack of coordination, fainting, and seizures.

If you believe your dog may have eaten something with xylitol, immediately call your vet or your local animal hospital.

Macadamia nuts are hazardous to dogs. All macadamia types build up cyanogenic glycosides in their seeds (proteacin and durrin). Even small amounts can make a dog ill. Signs a dog has eaten them include weakness in the hind legs, throwing up, and diarrhea. Serious symptoms include trembling and fever require immediate medical attention.

Additionally, because these nuts are a fatty snack, eating them might lead to pancreatitis, an uncomfortable inflammatory condition of the pancreas. If your dog throws up, stops eating, has stomach pains, becomes lethargic after ingesting macadamia nuts, call your veterinarian immediately for medical guidance.
