After the controversy with Sylvester Stallone, the vet explains that some foods can cause serious problems for animals
After letting the little dog get on the table and eat off his plate during the taping of the new reality show ‘The Family Stallone’, actor Sylvester Stallone has received criticism from both his wife and daughters, as well as several Internet users. This is because some foods and ingredients can cause serious health problems in animals.
Veterinarian Renata Pinheiro, of the platform for the health and well-being of dogs and cats Guivetwarns of the dangers of feeding human food to pets, as they can develop serious illnesses such as arrhythmias and neurological problems, which can even lead to death.
Find out what foods not to feed your puppy.
Chocolate
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine substances, which are stimulants and are not processed properly in hairy organisms. Therefore, they can have arrhythmias and serious neurological problems, as well as episodes of vomiting, diarrhea and pancreatitis due to the high concentration of fats and sugars.
“It is imperative that an animal that has consumed chocolate, even in small quantities, pays a visit to the vet to make sure everything is okay,” warns Renata.
Grapes and raisins
Both common grapes and raisins are off-limits in dog diets in any amount, and a single grape can cause kidney failure in a puppy.
“They have a substance called salicylate, which causes decreased blood flow to the kidneys, leading your dog to acute failure. So if your dog accidentally eats grapes, seek veterinary advice as soon as possible.”
Onion
Very common in human nutrition, onion contains a substance called thiosulfate, which is not processed in the same way by puppies. This substance causes the destruction of red blood cells and can generate intense and acute anemia, leading the animal to death.
“We also shouldn’t offer onions to our pets in small quantities or foods that have been seasoned with this ingredient,” warns the vet.
Garlic
Despite the benefits it brings to humans and its presence in everyday cooking, garlic also contains thiosulfate, which causes the same damage to animals as onions. Therefore, we should not offer our pets anything that contains garlic in its composition.
Coffee
Depending on the amount, caffeine can lead to the death of the animal. Even in small amounts, the ingredient is a potent stimulant and can cause cardiovascular and neurological changes. So don’t give coffee or caffeine-containing foods to your pet.
