Dog owners have a lot of responsibilities in their hands when it comes to taking care of their pets. They must be well-versed in different things that are good for their four-legged friends as well as those that could possibly harm them. Apart from providing them with shelter, dogs must also get their daily exercise and get check ups, just like humans do.
It is also important to inform other people in your household about the food items that are safe and not safe for your dog to consume. Too often, pet owners just toss food into the dog’s mouth without being mindful if it is safe for the dog or not. While humans consider it sweet when a dog shares food from their plates, there could be risks to these pets that we are not aware of.
For example, dogs have a hard time eating popcorn. It’s dangerous for their teeth as well as their tummies. If you really want to give your dog popcorn, it is good to know that there’s a special kind of popcorn treats for dogs. Instead, you can try giving your dogs more fruit and vegetables. Carrots, bananas, broccoli, pumpkin are among the recommended food for dogs. These are all easy to chew, digest and metabolize.
On the other hand, fruits like grapes and avocado as well as nuts and garlic are not recommended for your dogs. Interestingly, grapes have an adverse effect on dogs’ renal systems so it would be best not to give your dogs any.
We’ve prepared an infographic detailing some of the most common food that is good, bad, and should be given in moderation to dogs. Do let us know of other items on your list so we can share it to fellow dog owners.
