Dogs should not eat liver for a long time. The liver is rich in vitamin A, which is beneficial and harmless to dogs when consumed occasionally. However, long-term consumption of the liver as a daily staple can lead to excessive or even poisoning of vitamin A. Excessive vitamin A can affect the absorption of calcium in the intestine and the metabolism of calcium in the body, causing calcium deficiency in dogs, especially in young dogs. Vitamin A poisoning can manifest as osteoporosis, joint warts, and spinal lesions, and can affect the development of teeth. This type of disease is a gradual process that is often difficult to detect in the early stages, and when symptoms are detected, irreversible damage has already been caused.
Dogs cannot eat foods such as onions and onions. Some dogs may experience hemolysis of red blood cells and hematuria when consuming such food. Although the mechanism is not yet fully understood, it can be determined to be related to certain substances in onion based foods.
Dogs cannot eat bones, especially sharp bones like chickens and ducks. Because swallowing these bones with sharp corners or edges by dogs can easily cause damage to the gastric lining, it can further develop into acute gastric ulcers. If acute symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain are not treated in time, it can develop into chronic gastric ulcers. Occasional vomiting often occurs in the early morning and other fasting times, and appetite fluctuates, making the condition extremely easy to worsen and difficult to cure. When a dog ingests a large amount of bone at once, it may also experience constipation, with a bone like stool accompanied by difficulty in defecation.
Dogs should not eat seafood or other allergenic foods. Dogs may develop allergies to many foods, which vary greatly from individual to individual. Overall, seafood foods contain more histamine, which can easily cause allergies. The symptoms vary in severity, and may cause redness, swelling, restlessness, or systemic itching around the mouth. Allergic papules may also appear on the skin, and allergic diarrhea may also occur. These require careful observation by the owner to identify which foods are prone to allergies in the dog.
Dogs should not eat foods high in sugar, fat, or salt. High sugar and high-fat foods are easy to make dogs fat, and obesity is easy to induce a series of pains, such as fatty liver, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, etc., and damage the sports, circulation, reproductive and other systems. When dogs age, these illnesses will threaten their lives. The long-term intake of salt by dogs will inevitably increase the burden of renal excretion, affecting the health of the kidneys. At the same time, the imbalance of various minerals and vitamins in the body directly affects the health and resistance of the skin, causing various skin diseases.
Dogs cannot eat chocolate. Mainly because dogs are sensitive to caffeine in chocolate, although there are significant individual differences, some dogs may experience excitement and anxiety after consuming a small amount of chocolate. Moreover, chocolate contains a large amount of sugar, which is harmful and not beneficial to the health of dogs.
Don't overeat your dog to avoid acute illnesses such as stomach distension. Overeating and drinking can be more harmful to young dogs. Due to the poor digestive ability of young dogs, it is more likely to cause overeating, leading to acute gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, and even endangering life.
