Your vet explains how these foods can be harmful to your pet’s health
If fruit and vegetables are good for our health, they must help that of dogs too, right? In fact, experts warn that many of our foods are bad for dogs.
Can dogs eat fruit?
Before talking about the fruits that dogs can’t eat, it’s worth asking yourself: can dogs eat fruit? According to experts, they shouldn’t be the basis of dog food. Eventually, however, your pet can enjoy a natural snack. Some types of fruit and vegetables, in addition to being tasty, can also be very good for your four-legged friend!
However, not everything is flowers, indeed fruits… Other foods are not only harmful but can be extremely dangerous! Ingesting a vegetable that is not digested by the dog’s body can lead to serious complications. So, keep a list of which fruits your dog can’t eat when you give your friend a treat.
Fruits that dogs can’t eat
Despite being natural and full of nutrients, not all fruits are good for dogs. Some common items on a trade show roster can be extremely dangerous to dogs! To clarify any doubts, we invite the Petz veterinarian, Dr. Suelen Silva. According to the specialist, among the fruits that the dog cannot eat, we must mention:
1. Avocado
Anyone who thinks dogs can eat avocados is wrong. Delicious, savory or sweet, the avocado should stay away from its hairy counterpart. The fruit has a substance called persin, which is poisonous to pets. Therefore, it can cause vomiting, diarrhea and heart problems.
Two. Pineapple
Pineapple is not indicated, but the fruit is not poisonous to dogs. Well, the problem is
acidity, which can cause complications in the animal’s stomach.
3. Fruit star
Carambola has a natural toxin that it can cause kidney problems in dogs, with symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, intense salivation, tremors, blood in the urine, among others. This is because it has a high concentration of oxalic acid, which can cause stones to build up in the kidneys and bladder, causing
kidney failure. In addition, it also has caramboxin, a toxin that causes neurological problems as well
increased kidney impairment.
4. Cherry
This so small and apparently harmless fruit contains cyanide in the heart and in the peel, which can cause respiratory failure and, consequently, the death of the animal, because it compromises the transport of oxygen by the blood cells.
5. Damascus
Like the cherry, they have a safe flesh for the animal consumption. But the stems, seeds and leaves contain a lot of cyanide, which can cause serious respiratory problems.
6. Embark aft
Because it contains triglycerides, it can cause bloating, discomfort, stomach pain, and diarrhea.
7. AçaÃ
It is rich in theobromine, the same substance found in chocolate that can cause poisoning in dogs. Therefore, you cannot give açaà to your dog.
8. Figure
In addition to allergic reactions, they can cause vomiting and diarrhea if the tree or plant be ingested. Inflammatory processes in the skin are also common reactions.
9. oranges and lemon
Even fruits known for their acidity are far from the list of fruits that dogs can eat. Nobody imagines that a nice orange, full of vitamin C, can be dangerous, right? However, anyone who thinks dogs can eat oranges is dead wrong! Excess acidity of these fruits can cause gastritis and other complications. Therefore, both should be excluded from your friend’s diet.
10. Passion fruit
Despite the numerous effects that can help the animal, such as sedatives and anxiolytics (these properties are present in the leaf), cub You cannot eat passion fruit in its natural form. This is because it is recommended to give only the pulp of the fruit, but without the peel, seeds and leaves. Since it is very difficult to separate all of these and offer dogs only the pulp, the recommendation is not to offer it to the dog.
11. grapes and raisins
Don’t even think about gifting those juicy grapes to your furry little friend. Grapes are extremely dangerous for dogs. Scholars aren’t sure what substances in the fruit affect dogs,
but there are several reports of illnesses and even deaths caused by consuming the fruit. Raisins also carry the same risks and therefore shouldn’t be offered to your partner.
Choose the ideal snack for your pet
While the list isn’t very long, some fruits are tall risk to our pets. Therefore, the ideal is to leave fruit salad only for humans. For your pet, choose a more appropriate treatment.
