Ever thought about what you can really feed your dog from the kitchen? Here are 5 foods you should avoid flicking off the counter 👇

🍇 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐒
Dogs should steer clear of grapes and raisins as they can be highly toxic to them. The exact mechanism of how these fruits induce toxicity remains uncertain, but extensive research has shed light on the well-established risks associated with them.

Caution should be exercised with all grape-related products to prevent toxicity in dogs.

The ingestion of grapes and raisins may lead to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and renal disease.

🥑 𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐎
Tiny portions of avocado flesh are generally safe for dogs, but the seeds, skin, and leaves are harmful due to a toxin called persin. It's crucial to prevent dogs from accessing avocados, primarily because the pit can cause serious blockages in their digestive system, potentially leading to fatal outcomes. For the well-being of your dog, it's best to keep avocados out of their reach.

🧄 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐂 & 𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒
Vegetables belonging to the Allium family pose a toxicity risk to dogs. This category includes:

🧄 Garlic
🧅 Onions
🍃 Chives
🌱 Leeks

These specific vegetables are regarded as highly hazardous for dogs due to their potential to harm and rupture red blood cells. Ingestion may result in symptoms such as anemia, elevated heart rate, vomiting, and other adverse effects.

🍄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌𝐒
Like us, certain mushroom species are safe for dogs, while others can be fatal. Differentiating between them can be challenging, especially for those who aren't experienced wild mushroom foragers.

It is recommended to consider all wild mushrooms as toxic and prevent your dog from consuming any of them. For instance, the Death Cap Mushroom, prevalent in U.S. coastal areas, is highly toxic to dogs.

🍅 𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒
When it comes to tomatoes and dogs, it's okay to give them a bit of the red and ripe part, but not too much. The ripe part, although not poisonous, is a bit acidic and might upset their stomach.

On the flip side, green tomatoes, along with the leaves and stems, are a no-go for dogs. They have something called solanine, which is not good for them and can be harmful if eaten.

Being a good pet owner means knowing what foods can be tricky for our dogs. By understanding what's safe and what's not, we can keep our four-legged buddies healthy and happy. If you're ever unsure, just chat with your vet to make sure you're making the right choices for your dog's diet and happiness.

I absolutely hate these retractable leashes. Whenever my pet owners have these I either use one of their leashes or I use my own leash that I keep in my car. I always worry of someone tripping over it, getting tangled up or the dog out of range for me to protect them.
I try and avoid every possibility of someone getting hurt while I am in care of my clients pet.
