What’s one thing that instantly puts a smile on your face when you come home? The answer is a wagging tail jumping over you, licking your face, giving you lots and lots of affection, and expecting nothing in return. Yup, we are talking about those furballs who calm your soul in the chaos.
But how do you take care of them? Today, we stumbled upon a thread that talks about the food items we should never feed our doggos. Not just sugar, there are many other things we need to stop feeding our dogs right now!
A Twitter user named Gurman Kaur gives us valuable information on how different food items can affect your dog’s health.

A mini thread🧵
1. Sugar causes skin allergies in dogs.
In the following thread, she has listed down ten food items that you should never feed dogs, with reasons why it is dangerous for them. From coffee, tea, garlic, and more, there are a lot of things that can make your dog weak.
2. Chocolate contains theobromine that can be poisonous to dogs.

3. The artificial sweetener Xylitol (found in many sugarfree biscuits) can cause a life-threatening blood sugar drop or hypoglycemia in dogs. Additionally, Xylitol can also cause rapid liver failure in dogs.
4. Onion and garlic in any form can kill their red blood cells, causing anemia in dogs. Eating a lot just once can even cause poisoning.

I remember feeding dogs only Parle-G biscuits but had no idea that items as common as the ones you mentioned could be so harmful for them. Hopefully people see this and make sure they don’t feed such items which can be fatal for the dogs.
