This may be due to the fact that by accident or lack of knowledge on your part he ate some of the foods we will tell you about below:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Chocolate_can_be_toxic_watch_out\"><\/span>1. Chocolate can be toxic, watch out!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine. Believe it or not, these substances can cause <strong>damage to your dog&#8217;s nervous system<\/strong>. They also cause allergies, arrhythmias, seizures and increased blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>After a <strong>high dose of chocolate<\/strong> the main symptoms he will have will be vomiting, dehydration, general malaise or nervousness. Under these symptoms call the vet as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Eliminate_onions_and_garlic_from_your_diet\"><\/span>2. Eliminate onions and garlic from your diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Onions, garlic and leeks have thiosulfate<\/strong>, a substance that can destroy red blood cells, causing hemophilic anemia in your dog if consumed for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>If your trusty friend&#8217;s urine turns bright orange and red you <strong>should<\/strong> see your <strong>vet immediately<\/strong>. He may be suffering from haemophilic anaemia. Watch out!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Zero_sweets_and_sugar\"><\/span>3. Zero sweets and sugar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Consider all sweet <strong>foods that are forbidden for dogs<\/strong>, as they can cause obesity, tooth decay, liver damage and even diabetes in your dog. Try to establish a sugar-free diet, your dog will thank you for it.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>sugar-free dog foods<\/strong> you should be especially careful as some have Xylitol. This sweetener can cause vomiting, convulsions, lethargy, lack of coordination or internal bleeding, among others.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_No_small_bones\"><\/span>4. No small bones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Surprising as it may seem, small bones can affect your beloved dog&#8217;s health, especially if he&#8217;s still a puppy. For example, they can cause respiratory and digestive problems such as suffocation and internal injuries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11810 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo.jpg\" alt=\"alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo-75x39.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/alimentos-prohibidos-para-perros-cuerpo-512x268.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Dairy-free_like_milk_and_cheese\"><\/span>5. Dairy-free like milk and cheese<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, dogs do not have the <strong>enzyme lactase<\/strong> that breaks down lactose. For that reason, cheese, milk and even ice cream can cause certain intestinal disorders or diarrhoea in your pet.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, they should only consume the <strong>milk given by their mother<\/strong>, and this usually happens when they are still growing puppies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Caffeine_and_alcohol_are_prohibited\"><\/span>6. Caffeine and alcohol are prohibited<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Caffeine, alcohol and other energy drinks or soft drinks are <strong>forbidden foods for dogs<\/strong>. This is because their bodies do not process them very well and can even cause them to become intoxicated.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Avocados_grapes_and_seeds_of_other_fruits_are_harmful\"><\/span>7. Avocados, grapes and seeds of other fruits are harmful<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Avocado has a toxin called persin that is <strong>dangerous to dogs&#8217; health<\/strong>. For example, in some breeds it can cause everything from digestive problems to breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grapes and raisins are also harmful<\/strong> to a dog&#8217;s health, even in small quantities they can lead to kidney failure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apples, peaches and apricots are not harmful<\/strong> but their seeds, stones and hearts have small amounts of cyanide. Therefore, it is best to avoid them in your diet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_you_want_to_improve_your_dogs_diet_follow_these_tips\"><\/span>If you want to improve your dog&#8217;s diet, follow these tips!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now we&#8217;ll share with you a list of useful tips to help you <strong>improve your beloved dog&#8217;s diet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prepare or buy a food that meets his nutritional needs, suits him and is to his liking.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t experiment with unusual combinations when preparing your dog&#8217;s food.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you serve him low-salt food and make sure he doesn&#8217;t rummage through the rubbish.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful not to offer your dog home-cooked foods that are not good for him as a reward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With this <strong>table of forbidden dog foods<\/strong>, you can rest assured that you won&#8217;t poison your beloved puppy by accident.<\/p>\n<p>If you still have doubts, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/\"><strong>Greenuso<\/strong><\/a> we recommend you <strong>consult a veterinarian<\/strong>.
