Learn which foods are dangerous for your puppy

Before you get your puppy (or any dog!) you should educate yourself on which foods are dangerous for your furry friend. Knowing this ahead of time could save you heartache and a load of ££ in vet bills.

See below for a list of particularly dangerous human foods that could cause vomiting, diarrhoea, heart failure, kidney failure, and even death.

• 1. Onions, Garlic and Chives

  The onion family, whether dry, raw or cooked, is particularly toxic to dogs and can cause gastrointestinal irritation and red blood cell damage. Signs of illness are not always immediate and can occur up to a few days later.

• 2. Chocolate

  However enticing chocolate is for humans and dogs alike, chocolate is another poisonous food for dogs. Chocolate contains a stimulant called theobromine (dark chocolate has the highest content of this) which is toxic to dogs and can cause kidney failure.

• 3. Macadamia Nuts

  Macadamia nuts contain a toxin that can affect your dog’s muscles and nervous system resulting in weakness, swollen limbs and panting.

• 4. Corn on the Cob

  Corn on the cob could potentially be fatal if eaten by your dog. Although the corn is digested by dogs, the cob can cause a blockage in your dog's intestine.

• 5. Avocado

  Avocados are another poisonous food for dogs. Avocado plants contain a substance called Persin which is in its leaves, fruit and seed and can cause vomiting and diarrhoea in dogs.

• 6. Grapes and Raisins

  Raisins are in many of the foods that we love to eat such as cakes, biscuits and cereals so it's not just the fruit form we should be concerned with. The active ingredient which causes the toxin is unknown, however both grapes and raisins may cause severe liver damage and kidney failure.
