I have a weakness...my dog's sad, pleading eyes. When I'm snacking on a tasty treat, it's very difficult to not give my dog, Sam, just a taste. Unfortunately, many of the seemingly harmless "people foods" that we enjoy can wreak havoc on your poor, unsuspecting dog's health.
For years, dog experts have all agreed that feeding table scraps to your dog has the potential to poison. While there are a number of good dog treat recipes out there, you must be careful not to use ingredients that are considered to be harmful to your pet. One such ingredient is grapes.
Grapes are known to be very dangerous to the dog's kidneys and can be fatal.
Though it is not known how many grapes are considered fatally toxic, as few as 5 grapes can be poisonous to a dog that weighs 20 pounds.
What are some indicators that your dog has consumed poison in grapes?
Within 24 hours, vomiting, weakness and diarrhoea may be present. However, these symptoms can start in as little as a few hours. You may also notice that your dog is urinating a lot less. This can be a symptom of his kidneys shutting down.
What can be done now?
On suspicion that your dog has consumed some poison found in foods visit your veterinarian immediately. Most likely your dog will be carefully checked and be given plenty of water to drink till this condition is controlled.
You can avoid all this quite simply by not feeding your dog with people food! Discover instead a variety of tasty healthy treat(suitable for dogs). Not only are you giving your pet a dog treat but also protecting him with this healthy tasty snack too.
