8 Really Poisonous Foods For Dogs

Chocolate

Contains theobromine, toxic to dogs. Can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, and seizures. Dark chocolate is especially dangerous due to higher concentrations.

Grapes and Raisins

Toxic compounds can cause kidney failure, even in small amounts. Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy, and abdominal pain within a few hours.

Onions and Garlic

Contains thiosulfate, which damages red blood cells, leading to anemia. Symptoms: weakness, vomiting, and pale gums. Both raw and cooked forms are dangerous.

Avocado

Persin, found in avocado, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and heart congestion. The pit is also a choking hazard and can cause intestinal blockage.

Alcohol

Even small amounts of alcohol can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, coordination problems, and even respiratory failure.

Caffeine

Found in coffee, tea, and energy drinks, caffeine can cause rapid heart rate, restlessness, muscle tremors, and seizures. It’s more toxic than chocolate.

Dairy Products

Many dogs are lactose intolerant, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, and digestive upset when consuming milk, cheese, or other dairy products.

Cherries

Cherries’ pits, stems, and leaves contain cyanide, which is toxic. Ingesting them can cause difficulty breathing, red gums, and even death.
