what can't dogs eat?

Question

can dogs eat grass

Answer 1

According to Pedigree.com dogs shouldn't have any of the following:


Alcoholic beverages. Because alcohol can be fatal to dogs, no amount of alcoholic beverage is safe… yes; even beer should be off limits.

Chocolate is toxic to canines. The darker the chocolate, the more harmful. The methylxanthines (caffeine and theobromine) in chocolate can cause a dog to vomit, have diarrhea, experience rapid, irregular heart beat, have increased urination, and experience muscle tremors and seizures. The effects can be serious. Death from chocolate toxicity can occur with 24 hours.

Coffee, tea and cola are people-food. They contain caffeine, a methylxanthine also found in chocolate. The signs of toxicity include rapid heart beat, hyperexcitability, tremors, and seizures.

Macadamia nuts can temporarily cause muscle weakness, often in the hind legs. Other signs include vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. The mechanism of the toxicity is unknown. Affected dogs recover with no treatment and no long-term effects.

Onions and garlic have a chemical that damages red blood cells in dogs and can cause anemia. Even one small whole onion can cause death. So be particularly careful when disposing of left-overs that contain a significant amount of onions, such as pizza or Chinese take-out. The small amounts of onion and garlic powder used in pet foods is safe and well below the toxic levels.

Raisins and grapes seem like fun toys to a dog. But they can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and kidney failure. The minimum safe amount is not known, so keep these foods well out of reach of curious muzzles.

Sugarless gums and candies are certainly sweet, but the sugar substitute xylitol can cause a rapid drop in your dog's blood sugar.

Moldy or spoiled food and garbage should stay safely in the trash. They can contain multiple toxins causing vomiting, diarrhea, and damage to internal organs.

Yeast dough, like the kind used in making bread or desserts, is designed to expand. If swallowed by an unsuspecting canine, it can expand and produce gas in the digestive system, causing pain and possibly rupture of the stomach or intestines.
Medications such as Ibuprofen, Tylenol, and Naproxen may give you some relief, but painkillers and other common medications can be deadly to your dog. Keep all prescription and over-the-counter drugs - including painkillers, ant-inflammatory drugs, cold medicines, diet pills, antidepressants, anti-cancer drugs, and vitamins - in closed cabinets out of your pets' reach. Never give your dog medication unless directed by a vet.
Plants are pretty but possibly deadly for your dog. Many common yard and houseplants can be poisonous, including lily, daffodil, oleander, rhododendron, azalea, yew, foxglove, rhubarb leaves, and cycads.
According to the ASPCA, thousands of dogs needlessly suffer (and many die) each year by ingesting these common household foods and substances. If you suspect that your pet has eaten any of them, seek emergency help right away.

Answer 2

Yes, dogs can and do 'eat grass' to help settle their stomachs when they've eaten something that's not 'good' for them. NEVER GIVE YOUR DOG CHOCOLATE because that can KILL them. MOST are 'terribly allergic' to it, and it's simply 'safer' not to give that to them at all. Also NEVER give them any 'fish with bones' in it, or any 'small bones' like chicken and pork chop bones ... they can 'shatter' and pierce the dog's insides. If you feed your dog 'the best dog food' you can get, it should be 'just fine' ... but if you want your dog to be 'really at the top' in it's 'eating habits' you should buy a large 'bag' (25 lbs) and simply pour it all out into a 'box' that the dog can 'reach into to eat' and let your dog 'self feed' ... you might have to 'watch' to see it doesn't OVEREAT at first, but after the first month you should be 'just fine' ... and your dog will eat only what is 'necessary' and be 'slim, trim, and energetitc' ...

Answer 3

Eating grass is normal for dogs. They will often seek particular types of grasses depending on their needs (roughage, to calm their stomachs or to help them throw up if they've gotten into something that didn't agree with them).
Among the things they should NOT be allowed to eat are chocolate (the theobromine in chocolate is toxic to dogs) and cooked bones, which can splinter, possibly causing severe intestinal damage if swallowed.

Answer 4

Yes dogs can eat grass and will often throw up after doing it. Some believe it is something they do to clear their stomach. Others believe it dates back to when dogs used to kill prey and eat the stomach content which often contained grass.
The only concern about grass is that in many places lawns are treated with chemical fertilizers that could be toxic to dogs. So eating grass anywhere would not be good.
Even then though, most dogs eat only a bit and usually throw up after eating it.

Answer 5

Generally, dogs eat grass when they are sick. It makes them throw up. But it's an innate knowledge..they eat it when the need to. Kinda weird; if your dog is eating grass every so often, leave it alone. If it is eating grass all the time, you have to train it not to.

I know dogs can't eat chocolate...I don't know what else.

Answer 6

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU1VR

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 7

Dogs can't eat chocolate and grapes mainly. They can eat grass though. I know of lots of dogs that eat grass and nothing's wrong with them. Sometimes it makes them throw up but that's onlt certain types of grass. my dogs eat the grass in my yard all the time and never throw up. I really hope this helped.

Answer 8

It is a myth that dogs eat grass because of an upset stomach. They eat it because they like it. It sometimes does make them vomit because they will hav a long stringy piece that gags them of they eat grass that has been treated with chemicals. There are foods a dog should not eat though. Use your search engine and check out "foods harmful to dogs." Some of them are Chocolate, grapes, raisins, walnuts & alcohol.

Answer 9

Yes. It's a puppy salad! Some eat grass to help settle their stomachs.
