Common Household foods that are toxic to our dogs! (3)

Garlic and Onions

Herbs belonging to the Allium Family, which includes garlic, onions, chives and leeks can cause fatal anaemia to dogs (and cats) Garlic and Onion powders are also a risk too. Although dangerous to all dogs, a number of Japanese breeds are extra sensitive to these herbs including Shiba Inus and Akitas. 

Lollies and Gum
(Sugar included and
​sugar free)

The sweeter, Xylitol, used in many sugar free lollies, chewing gum and baking products is incredibly toxic to dogs. It quickly causes a drop in blood sugar levels and can lead to seizures and liver faillure.
Xylitol is so toxic it only takes 5 pieces of gum containing it to kill a 30kg dog. 

Yeast Dough

Once digested, raw dog can expand once it reaches your dogs stomach which can cause torsion or even rupture the stomach. The sugar and yeast within the dough can also start to ferment which will lead to alcohol poisoning. Both of these situations can quickly become fatal.
