Human Foods That Are Toxic For Dogs

Having a pet at home might seem easy, but it’s actually as hard as having a baby, not only you have to take care of them but also feed and clean them. It’s important to know what food to give them and what food can be dangerous for any dog.

Keeping your dog healthy can be a little complicated if you don’t understand what food dogs should avoid at all cost because it’s not good for them. Take a look on what foods your dog should never eat.

Coffee is terrible for your pet

Any product with caffeine can have a similar effect on your dog to chocolate and could ultimately damage its heart. So, keep your coffee away from your little friend.

Just keep caffeine away

Caffeine all contain substances called methylxanthines, which are very dangerous to a pet’s health.

Milk?!

Many dogs find it difficult to digest the lactose in milk, butter and cheese because they don’t produce enough of the enzyme, lactase.

Dairy products can cause them...

The effects can range from a mild tummy upset to an irritating skin allergy.

No grapes for the dog!

Like dried fruit, grapes are highly toxic and should be kept away from your pet.

Sorry bud!

The pips and stones of some fruits, such as apples, plums and peaches, contain a chemical called amygdalin, which can cause a digestive upset. Large fruit stones are also a choking hazard, particularly for puppies and small breeds.

Not the whole apple!

The seeds of the apple contain toxic substances. Some of the symptoms that this cause them are hyperventilation, digestive problems and shortness of breath.

Never avocado

These fleshy green fruits contain a fungicidal toxin called persin which could give your dog a digestive upset. However, it’s the large avocado stone that presents most danger because it could potentially block the gastrointestinal tract, leaving your dog requiring surgery.

Candies or chewing gum

This artificial sweetener is used in sweets, cakes, toothpaste and chewing gum and has a laxative effect on humans. For dogs, though, an excess of xylitol could prove fatal because it starts a rapid release of the hormone insulin. Too much insulin affects the amount of glucose (sugar) in your dog’s blood which, in turn, could cause seizures and affect your pet’s liver.

Yes, chocolate!

Chocolate and cocoa-based products contain a stimulating substance called theobromine which is extremely poisonous to dogs. The darker the chocolate, the greater the risk. Even a few ounces of chocolate could leave your dog with sickness, diarrhoea, dehydration, and high blood pressure, and the effect is potentially worse in small breeds.

Sorry but no ice cream

Just as candies, ice cream contains xylitol and dairy as well. The symptoms of xylitol poisoning include weakness, vomiting and a lack of coordination, and it requires urgent veterinary attention.

Neither onion

Members of the allium family as garlic, leeks and onions contain a substance called organosulfides which could affect your dog’s red blood cells, too much garlic or onion could ultimately lead to anaemia.

Not even a bit

The symptoms take a few days to appear so if your dog appears sleepy and lethargic, head straight to your vet.

No alcohol

If a dog consumes just a small amount of alcohol, it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, problems with coordination, difficulty breathing, coma and even death.

No yeast

The smell of unbaked yeasty bread dough could attract your dog’s attention but it should always be kept out of reach. If eaten, the dough could expand dangerously in your dog’s stomach, and the fermented yeast could become toxic.

Not Nuts for them!

Nuts, including almonds, pecans and walnuts, contain high amounts of oils and fats, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea and even pancreatitis in pets.

Salt it's bad

Salt, as well as salt-heavy foods like chips and pretzels, can lead to excessive thirst and urination, and even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Some signs that your pet may have consumed too much salt include, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures and even death.

Raw eggs!

Raw meat and eggs can often contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can be harmful to both pets and humans. According to the ASPCA, raw eggs also ‘contain an enzyme called avidin that decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin), which can lead to skin and coat problems.’

Small bones are dangerous

Contrary to popular opinion, bones are bad for dogs. Not only can they potentially choke your dog, they can cause blockages in the gut, intestinal damage and chipped or broken teeth. Dental chews are a great way to assist oral health.

Foods with Xylitol

Xylitol is a type of artificial sweetener found in many sugar-free products, like gum and candy, as well as some nut butters like peanut butter. Xylitol can cause insulin release, which can lead to liver failure, seizures and brain damage.

Eight

Bottoms up! These are 20 of the weirdest drinks in the world

We all love trying new things and have a weird attraction to sometimes try weird things that may not even sound tempting… all for the sake of a new experience. Different places and different customs and traditions bring drinks you may think are crazy, but that are just average for other people (hey! They must think our drinks are insane as well). And as it usually happens with new things, the weirder it is we want to try it more just to see what it’s like.

We made our research and we don’t know why but for some reason, these weird drinks were invented and apparently, they are popular with some people. We’ll tell you all about them here.

Beer and milk

Google.

This japanese drink was born whenthe producer heard about a milk surplus. A proposition was made to the local brewery to produce a beer with milk. As a third of the beer was milk, it was understood as an excellent way to help local farmers. We're not sure if they have a target audience because it sounds gross but we're glad for the farmers.

Panda Dung Tea

Google.

An Yanshi, professor of calligraphy at Sichuan University, has patented a way to grow green tea in panda excrement. As bizarre as it sounds, sales are through the roof and it's become super popular - and expensive!

Tobacco liquid

Google.

This was an energy drink that promised to give users a similar experience to smoking. Martin Hartman, CEO of the company, stated that the product did not contain nicotine, but did produce "an energizing effect, followed by a feeling of euphoria and relaxation." This product brought lots of legal problems for him.

Diet water

Google.

More than a weird drink, it's a marketig ploy... I can’t believe h0ow anyone could ever invent something like this, and even more shocking, how can anyone buy these.. It doesn’t make any sense. "Regular" water already has no calories, fat, carbs or protein.

Rainbow beer

Google.

Ryuhyo ("ice drift") is one of the most interesting projects that we can find in Rainbow Beer, made with water from melted icebergs that float on the beaches of northern Hokkaido. Its bright blue color comes from seaweed extract.

Ice cucumber Pepsi

Google.

Of course, this was launched in Japan. Some people said that it had a real artificial flavor that was bad. However, I like cucumber. The thing is that the mix with Pepsi doesn’t sound like the right combination... but that may just be me.

BustUp

Google.

This beberage was sold in Japan as a “natural” way of growing bresats. Well, it doesn’t look natural at all people. You should never drink something that says that is going to change your body. You should just exercise and accept yourself as you are. Besides, we have no idea what's on this!

Pizza beer

Google.

Separately both things are perfect. How could someone mix both? Pizza Beer claims to be the World's first "culinary beer", and the ale brewed with oregano, basil, tomato and garlic is sold on select locations within the US. I will admit, this combo makes me curious but I think I'd rather have them separately.

Deer penis wine

Google.

Not even its name sounds good. Chinese athletes have long used animal parts to improve their performance. The last thing in their sports medicine seemed to be venison penis wine. There is a variant called the triple wine of the penis, which is made with the sexual organs of dogs and seals, as well as deer. Right.

Kids beer

Google.

Some people think that this is a way of encouraging little children to drink alcohol. However, I feel like it is a way of telling them that alcohol is nothing different as the things they actually know. In that way they would not be that curious when they grow up and nothing would get out of control. Just a disclaimer, of course this has zero alcohol.

Garlic drink

Google.

This is a south Korean drink. Most asian cultures heavily use garlic and they don’t have any problems with garlic smell. We, usually tend to look for things that take the garlic smell away from us. After cutting it when we cook etc.

Curry lemonade

Google.

Of course, we, occidental people are always one step behind oriental people. That is why we only use curry as a seasoning when we cook. Well, Japanese people mixed it with lemonade and drink it. This is also very popular in other asian countries, like India.

Cow water

Google.

Four years ago, a Hindu cultural group developed jal gau ("cow water") as a "healthy" alternative to soft drinks. Although Gau Jal still has to appear in supermarkets in the United States, it has already found a niche market in Italy, where it is sold under the elegant name of "Acqua di Vacca".

Kimchi Soda

Google.

Ramune produces his bubbly drinks of wasabi, kimchi, curry or teriyaki flavors. We don’t know if we must trust in these. The word "Ramunė" is a Japanese adaptation of "lemonade". Couldn’t they have just used lemons?

Cheese liquid

Google.

Produced by the NEEDS cheese factory in Hokkaido, the NEEDS liquid cheese beverage was presented with three flavors: Berry, Yuzu Citrus and normal. This sounds amazingly disgusting. However, at this point nothing surprises me…

Baby mouse wine

Google.

Why why why why WHY would you drink baby mice?. Just take a look at the picture. It can’t even exist. I know that mice are mostly a lovable little rodent but this is just too much for my own eyes. It doesn’t only sound wrongs it also looks really bad.

Peruvian frog juice

Google.

Two incisions are made in the belly of the frog. The frog is liquefied in the blender with the hot broth of beans, honey, aloe vera, and maca. Unfortunately, this become famous and a lot of people are drinking it. For the locals, it's a deliceatessen. To each their own I suppose.

Placenta 10000 and Placenta-Pro

Google.

It is taken "to increase the energy and production of breast milk of a first-time mother, while decreasing postpartum depression and bleeding". And if the porcine placenta does not sound strong enough for you, there is always Placenta-pro, made from horse placenta extract.

Thanksgiving drink

Google.

In 2003, beverage manufacturers Jones Soda launched a flavored Turkey and salsa flavored drink for the holiday season. Very extravagant. It ran out in two hours, in case you were wondering why would they do that.

Bird's nest drink

Google.

Pollution is eroding the cliffs where swifts live. But it does not matter, in China there is a fever from drinking a bird's nest. Who wouldn’t want to get a smoother skin?

Effects on nature

Overpopulation is the most serious environmental issue, according to planetsave.com, “As the population grows, there is more demand for certain plants: trees for paper, food, plant fibers for clothing, etc. We thought the solution was to simply re-plant whatever we consume. This has led to problems, however, in biodiversity. Because many of the plants and crops we sow are of the same age and genetic makeup, they are more susceptible to problems from disease and pests.”

Effects on wildlife

Source: Reuters

According to Negative Population Growth organization, “The unprecedented rate at which the human population has grown since the beginning of the industrial revolution has had immeasurable impacts on the ability of non-human species to survive. More people using more resources results in less and less suitable habitat for wildlife, pushing many species to the brink of extinction.”

Malthusian Theory of Population

Thomas R. Malthus, a British economist, proposed a systematic theory of population. This theory states that human population will grow exponentially while food production will grow at an arithmetic rate.
