Dog Treats- Avoid Using This Toxic Ingredient

My big weakness… are those pleading sad eyes of my dog. As I enjoy my treat on a tasty snack, it becomes very hard not to feed my dog Sam with a tiny snack. Too bad, most of what seems to be of no harm like “people foods” which we have no problem with is very dangerous to the health of your innocent dog.

For years, dog experts have all agreed that feeding table scraps to your dog has the potential to poison. While there are a number of good dog treat recipes out there, you must be careful not to use ingredients that are considered to be harmful to your pet. One such ingredient is grapes.

Grapes are known to be very dangerous to the dog’s kidneys and can be fatal.

Though it is not known how many grapes are considered fatally toxic, as few as 5 grapes can be poisonous to a dog that weighs 20 pounds.

What are some indicators that your dog has consumed poison in grapes?

In about 24 hours your dog would start to vomit and diarrhoea and appear weak. Not withstanding you may notice these symptoms within a shorter period. Another sign is that your dog might urinate less, which is an indication that your dog’s kidneys are failing.

Is there anything that can be done now?

On suspicion that your dog has consumed some poison found in foods visit your veterinarian immediately. Most likely your dog will be carefully checked and be given plenty of water to drink till this condition is controlled.

To stop this attack do not give your dog “people food”. Get various tasty ingredients (suited for dogs) keeping in mind that this is not just a dog treat but also a healthy tasty snack for your pet.
