As in humans, excess coffee has serious consequences on the body causing vomiting, agitation and even death.
As we mentioned in our article on why dogs cannot eat chocolate, dogs cannot metabolize theobromine, so chocolate considers it a forbidden food for dogs.
Offering chocolate in excessive doses can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration and can even lead to dog death. However, although it only gives you small pieces, it is also a harmful product as it increases cardiac contractibility.
As with chocolate, dogs are unable to metabolize milk, so we should not offer them. It is a non-fatal but harmful product that causes vomiting, diarrhea and various gastrointestinal problems.

Cheese is not as harmful as milk, but its abuse can lead to problems such as pancreatitis or more serious problems if our dog is lactose intolerant. Therefore, we must avoid this type of food.
The conventional yeasts we use for cakes and other recipes become a toxic product inside the dog’s body. Consequences may include gas buildup, vomiting, pain, discomfort and lethargy.
We need to remove any traces of nuts from our dog’s diet for its large amount of phosphorus. The effects of overeating can include vomiting, muscle pain, weakness, dizziness, tremors, kidney failure and even fever in dogs.
Some fruits can be really deadly as is the case with macadamia nuts, and they can also cause the appearance of nuclei.
Excess salt is harmful to your puppy’s health, vomiting or diarrhea are visible symptoms, but there are more serious consequences that we can’t observe. Dogs with heart problems may be more affected and their situation worsened if swallowed.
Although we believe that no one will be able to offer alcohol, the truth is that it can happen by accident if we do not have the well-kept and hidden bottles of our pet. Excess causes human-like symptoms, toxicity affects the dog causing vomiting and even an ethyl coma.
If you plan to use eggs in the BARF diet, you should check their quality and condition before offering them. The chance of getting salmonella is the same as that can occur in our country.
However, the boiled egg is a very beneficial product for our animal, we can cook it and offer it to our dog once a week to improve the shine of the fur. It is also a source of protein and taurine.

Without a doubt, the most important thing to know is avocado because of its high persine content, toxins and vegetable fats that make its consumption a real risk to the health of our dog. It is a toxic food, the most serious consequences can be pancreatitis, deficiencies of the lung system and can even affect the heart.
Citrus fruits are not toxic foods, but the truth is that their high sugar content can lead to obesity and that their excess can cause intestinal discomfort.
With a single intake of onion, garlic, leek or chives, we can cause toxicity in dogs at high risk of anemia. Repeated consumption of this type of food can cause very serious and irreparable health problems.
The grapes directly affect the dog’s liver and kidneys and may even develop kidney failure if consumed as usual. Keep in mind that seeds and seeds should always be removed from food, which is the most toxic part.
