The family dog is in the other room, sitting on its dog bed, waiting patiently for the meal to be done. WAIT. Somehow this doesn’t seem like I am telling this right. Let me start again: Here is my household dinner scene: First off, we’ll make something easy, perhaps pizza or macaroni & cheese- served with potato chips. We are sitting in our living room at our pop-up coffee table while watching the television. Our little dog, Kasey, is sitting impatiently next to the couch waiting for us to share our dinner with her. Depending on our meal, our cat, Josie, is probably trying to climb up next to us. Between bites my husband and I throw pieces down to our begging pets. In our minds they are not only pets, but they are a huge part of our family, but are we hurting our family with people food? The ASPCA website lists food that we should avoid feeding our pets. Some are pretty obvious, but I found a few that surprised me. I am known to enjoy chips with pretty much any meal, and I, of course will share with my Kasey. Large amounts of salt can produce excessive thirst and urination, or even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Your pet may show signs of vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures and even death if they have eaten too many salty foods. My husband has the sweet tooth, and also enjoys sharing his cookies with our Kasey. But did you know that macadamia nuts, commonly used in many cookies and candies, have caused weakness, depression, vomiting, tremors and hyperthermia in dogs? The ASPCA notes that signs usually appear within 12 hours of ingestion and last approximately 12 - 48 hours. If you suspect that your pet has eaten any of the following foods, please note the amount ingested and contact us at (608) 839-5323 or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. Here is a list from the ASPCA website: Chocolate, Coffee, Caffeine These products all contain substances called methylxanthines, which are found in cacao seeds, the fruit of the plant used to make coffee and in the nuts of an extract used in some sodas. When ingested by pets, methylxanthines can cause vomiting and diarrhea, panting, excessive thirst and urination, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures and even death. Note that darker chocolate is more dangerous than milk chocolate. White chocolate has the lowest level of methylxanthines, while baking chocolate contains the highest. Alcohol Alcoholic beverages and food products containing alcohol can cause vomiting, diarrhea, decreased coordination, central nervous system depression, difficulty breathing, tremors, abnormal blood acidity, coma and even death. Avocado The leaves, fruit, seeds and bark of avocados contain Persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Birds and rodents are especially sensitive to avocado poisoning, and can develop congestion, difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation around the heart. Some ingestions may even be fatal. Grapes & Raisins Although the toxic substance within grapes and raisins is unknown, these fruits can cause kidney failure. In pets who already have certain health problems, signs may be more dramatic. Yeast Dough Yeast dough can rise and cause gas to accumulate in your pet’s digestive system. This can be painful and can cause the stomach or intestines to rupture. Because the risk diminishes after the dough is cooked and the yeast has fully risen, pets can have small bits of bread as treats. However, these treats should not constitute more than 5 percent to 10 percent of your pet’s daily caloric intake. Raw/Undercooked Meat, Eggs and Bones Raw meat and raw eggs can contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli that can be harmful to pets. In addition, raw eggs contain an enzyme called avidin that decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin), which can lead to skin and coat problems. Feeding your pet raw bones may seem like a natural and healthy option that might occur if your pet lived in the wild. However, this can be very dangerous for a domestic pet, who might choke on bones, or sustain a grave injury should the bone splinter and become lodged in or puncture your pet’s digestive tract. Xylitol Xylitol is used as a sweetener in many products, including gum, candy, baked goods and toothpaste. It can cause insulin release in most species, which can lead to liver failure. The increase in insulin leads to hypoglycemia (lowered sugar levels). Initial signs of toxicosis include vomiting, lethargy and loss of coordination. Signs can progress to recumbancy and seizures. Elevated liver enzymes and liver failure can be seen within a few days. Onions, Garlic, Chives These vegetables and herbs can cause gastrointestinal irritation and could lead to red blood cell damage. Although cats are more susceptible, dogs are also at risk if a large enough amount is consumed. Toxicity is normally diagnosed through history, clinical signs and microscopic confirmation of Heinz bodies. An occasional low dose, such as what might be found in pet foods or treats, likely will not cause a problem, but we recommend that you do NOT give your pets large quantities of these foods. Milk Because pets do not possess significant amounts of lactase (the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk), milk and other milk-based products cause them diarrhea or other digestive upset.
