Our pets sometimes sometimes look with such pitying eyes at the owners' plates and so happily jump up near the opening refrigerator that it is impossible to resist and not treat them with a piece of goodies. Only the whole problem is that a delicacy from the point of view of a person can be a danger to the animal. Consider 10 products that can not be fed by pets so as not to harm their health.
Top-10 dangerous products for pets
1. Chocolates
Chocolate, chocolate sweets, delicious cocoa and I want to share with the four-legged friend, but this is a real evil. Chocolate products contain the theobromine substance, which the animal's body is not able to process. The consequences of the eaten piece can be very different - from anxiety, vomiting, diarrhea to convulsions and convulsions.
2. Bones
There is a certain stereotype that the pet food of animals (cats and dogs) is bones, so after the owners' meals the remaining contents are transferred to the pet's bowl. But not all bones are useful, for example, fish or some chicken can unsuccessfully injure the oral cavity and esophagus.
3. Raw eggs, meat, fish
Products of animal origin without heat treatment are fraught with many dangers, at least worth mentioning Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Yes, in the wild all animals eat raw food, but it's about a quadruped family member who seems to be not involved in natural selection. In raw eggs, there is a substance called avidin, which interferes with the absorption of vitamin B, which affects the condition of the skin and coat.
4 / Grapes and raisins
Grapes have a negative impact on the kidneys of animals. Manifestations of the influence of toxins can be expressed in rapid urination, thirst, vomiting, and may not be expressed for years, accumulating in the body, and then suddenly kill the animal.
5. Onions and garlic
The harm of onions and garlic lies in the effect on the circulatory system. Substances of these products can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Especially dangerous are onions and garlic for cats.
6. Avocado
It would seem that what can harm a harmless avocado, but you need to know that it contains a poisonous substance - Persin, which can be deadly dangerous. Persin causes heart disease, lungs, diarrhea, vomiting, convulsions in animals.
7. Fruit bones and seeds
In the apartment where the pet lives, fruits and, consequently, bones from them regularly appear, but it is important to watch that the animal does not eat them and eat them. In the bones of cherries, apples, pears, apricots, plums, peaches contains poisonous cyanide.
8. Yeast dough
Obviously, any raw dough, not just yeast, can cause serious damage to the health of the animal, but finished products from yeast dough are also not safe. Bread should not be more than 10% of the pet's diet, with a larger volume of risk of bloating, vomiting, shortness of breath.
9. Sweet
If the cats are not very sweet, then the dogs are very sweet. The result of such addiction are watery eyes, spoiled teeth, impaired liver function, diabetes, obesity and a violation of taste perception.
10. Salted
Consumption of salty foods leads to a violation of the balance of electrolytes in the body of the animal, causes thirst and increased fluid intake, as a result of which the stomach is stretched. There are also cases of poisoning with sodium ions in animals.
Unfortunately, it happens that the pet did not treat himself with improper delicacy, without asking permission, so any suspicion of eating a "bad" product is an excuse to contact a veterinarian.
Be careful, choosing what to feed the cats , dogs and other pets.
