Alliums

Onions, garlic, chives- and any food seasoned with them is a big no-no for your dog and cat as well! As they are associated with a disorder called hemolytic anemia which can damage the red cells in your dog’s body. The same goes for spices such as onion and garlic powder. If your dog eats any of these alliums watch out for the below symptoms:

- Disorientation

- Fatigue

- Pale gums

- A rapid heartbeat

As, the disease progresses you can notice your dog developing dark urine, jaundice and vomiting. Get your pet dog’s blood tested if you notice any of the signs.

Chocolate, caffeine and coffee

Dark chocolate is more dangerous for your pet’s health than white chocolate.
