We all love our pets. However, it is important to realize that dogs are very different from humans in some very important ways, which can result in tragedies for uninformed parents. Here the harmful food for dogs.

1. Xylitol.

One of the newest and easily available human foods toxic to dogs is xylitol. Xylitol is present in products such as sugar-free cookies. When swallowed in relatively small amounts, this sweetener can cause a low blood sugar level, seizures, liver failure and death.

2. Grapes and raisins

Recently grapes and raisins have been found to induce renal insufficiency in some animals. This failure can be permanent and endanger life. It does not seem to be related to the volume ingested, and not all animals seem to be equally susceptible. Although some dogs have been eating grapes for years, it is safest to avoid grapes and raisins altogether.

3. Chocolate

Due to items like this, many people are now aware of the toxicity of chocolate in dogs and cats. With the recent popularity of chocolates that are 60 and 70 percent cocoa, this risk has become much more serious.

Dark chocolates have always been more toxic than milk chocolates. Toxic doses of chocolate can cause abnormal heartbeat, kidney failure and death. The toxic dose depends on the weight, so small dogs are at greater risk, but with the highest levels of cocoa in chocolate products now even the largest dogs are at risk.

4. Onions

Onions are tasty for both our pets and us, but too many onions can be dangerous. High levels of onion ingestion in dogs and cats can cause life-threatening anemia.

With any toxic exposure, minutes count, so knowing what to do can save your life. Most importantly, you should have the poison control phone number, your usual veterinarian and a hospital. It is best to wait until you reach poison control before doing anything, but you will usually be instructed to make your pet vomit to eliminate some of the toxic substance.

Vomiting can be induced with a teaspoon of peroxide. Administer oral peroxide every few minutes, giving your pet the opportunity to relax. Once vomiting occurs, or if you do not succeed in a few minutes, you should seek professional help from a qualified veterinarian.
