Dangerous Food

Postby Blossom » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:50 am

Grapes and raisins, although healthy and popular snacks for people, can cause serious health problems in dogs.

Although the exact reason why they're toxic remains unknown, even small doses can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, fatigue, and abdominal pain and can lead to kidney damage and even kidney failure.

After ingesting these fruits, dogs show increased levels of nitrogen, creatinine, and phosphorous in their blood, which indicates impaired kidney function.

If your dog succeeds in sneaking any of these snacks, a swift trip to the vet can offset potentially serious health complications.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
