Dog Food For Thought
Most of us are guilty at sometime of pampering
our dog and occasionally giving a treat for no reason.
Sometimes we even give them table scraps, I guess
as a way to include them as closely in our life
as we can. The dog sure don't mind and will eagerly
eat most anything we give them.
Did you know that some very common foods that we
as humans eat and enjoy can be dangerous or cause
discomfort for dogs?
It is common knowledge that chocolate is not good
for dogs and in fact can be fatal to a canine.
The darker the chocolate usually the higher content
of the chemical compound theobromine.
Other foods such as high fat meat products, caffeine,
onions, and even green potatoes can cause serious
problems and should not be feed to your dog.
Even though a spill of coke or a dropped hersey's
kissy won't harm your dog, in greater quantities
it may. It is best to not let your dog acquire a
taste for these foods by always paying attention
to what you give him to eat.
