FOOD, PLANTS AND SPICES SAFETY INFORMATION
Forbidden and To Be Cautioned - Common Food
A thru D
A thru D
Alcohol beverages:
Can cause intoxication, coma, death. Symptoms of alcohol poisoning
are slow respiratory rate, increased urination, wobbly movement, excited,
uncharacteristic behavior, depression, disorientation, hypothermia, seizures and cardiac arrest.
Almond:
Avoid nuts for dogs but a small amount of almond is fine according to the ASPCA. All nuts contain fats, which
can lead to gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting and diarrhea. High fat contents can also potentially leads to
inflammatory condition of the pancreas known as pancreatitis. Many commercially sold nuts are salted which in
large volume could potentially cause sodium ion toxicosis.
Apple seed:
Apple seed contains Amygdlin which is a type of cyanide that can be harmful. The amount of oxygen in our dog’
s blood will be reduced if he eats too many apple seeds, resulting in major health crisis. Symptoms include
dilated pupils, hyperventilation, difficulty breathing and shock.
Apricot seed:
Apricot seed contains Amygdlin which is a type of cyanide that can be harmful. The amount of oxygen in our
dog’s blood will be reduced if he eats too many apple seeds, resulting in major health crisis. Symptoms include
dilated pupils, hyperventilation, difficulty breathing and shock.
Avocado:
Dangerous. Avocado leaves, fruit, seeds and bark contain a toxic principle known as persin which can cause
vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Guatemala type is especially dangerous for dogs. Some confusion has risen
with claims of avocado being safe for dogs and even “dog friendly” avocado products. Because it is unclear
specifically how avocados are processed for these foods, what types of avocados are used or what minimum
dose may results in health problem, always check with your vet if you must feed avocado.
Bacon:
Should never be given to dogs due to its high fat content. While some dogs might be fine when given minimal
amount as treats, it could trigger an attack of pancreatitis in others that need to be more cautious with fat levels.
Baking powder:
Used in baked goods to create a gas, which causes doughs and batters to rise. When eaten by itself instead of
in baked goods, large amount can cause electrolyte changes, muscle spasms and congestive heart failure.
Baking soda:
Used in baked goods to create a gas, which causes doughs and batters to rise. When eaten by itself instead of
in baked goods, large amount can cause electrolyte changes, muscle spasms and congestive heart failure.
Bones:
Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system. Absolutely no chicken bones, pork-chop bones
and round steak bone as they easily splinter and can lodged. Since bones are great entertainment for dogs
and also good way to clean the teeth, if you must, always supervise when giving your dog a bone, use common
sense on the size and chewing style. Cooked bones can splinter and hurt your dogs. Always take away small
pieces that your dog breaks off.
Broccoli:
If the percentage of broccoli in the diet exceeds 10% it can cause gastrointestinal upsets and if it exceeds 25%
it is fatal. The toxic ingredient in broccoli is isothiocyanate and is reported to be a potent gastrointestinal irritant.
Broccoli also contains high amount of oxalic acid which interferes with calcium absorption.
Butter:
Butter is fatty. Dogs can suffer from a condition called pancreatitis when given too much fatty food.
Cake:
People food is generally not good for dogs. Most human cakes are made with high content of dairy products
such as butter and milk that dogs cannot tolerate very well. It also contains high amount of sugar. Some may
also contain chocolate or cocoa powder that is all potentially fatal to dogs.
Candy:
People food is generally not good for dogs. Sugary food can lead to obesity, dental problems and diabetes.
Dogs can become addicted and lose their taste for healthier options, cause blood sugar and blood pressure
imbalance, or weight gain resulting in obesity. Too much sugar can cause diarrhea. Some research states that
some cancer cells thrive on carbohydrates (sugar). Some may also contain chocolate, cocoa powder and
raisins that are all potentially fatal to dogs.
Cheesecake:
People food is generally not good for dogs. Cheesecake is a dairy product and most dogs cannot tolerate dairy
products very well. It also contains high amount of sugar. Some may also contain chocolate, cocoa powder or
nutmeg that is all potentially fatal to dogs.
Cherry:
Can cause rapid breathing, shock, mouth inflammation and increased heart rate.
Cherry pit or seed:
Can obstruct the digestive tract. Contains Amygdlin which is a type of cyanide that can be harmful. The amount
of oxygen in our dog’s blood will be reduced if he eats too many apple seeds, resulting in major health crisis.
Symptoms include dilated pupils, hyperventilation, difficulty breathing and shock.
Chicken Bone:
Absolutely no no. It easily splinters and can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system.
Chinese food:
People food is generally not good for dogs. While in general they are not toxic, some Chinese food is cooked
with onion or other spices that are bad for dogs and can cause serious health issues. Be careful and know the
ingredients if you must give your dog some Chinese food.

allows us to digest onion. Without treatment, if regularly or big amount was ingested, severe anemia and death
may occur. Symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, gas pain and distress.
Chocolate:
Contains Theobromine and caffeine, which can be toxic even in small quantity and can affect the heart,
sometimes fatally. Symptoms are hyperactivity, restlessness, muscle twitches, increased urination and
excessive panting. Increased heart rate, blood pressure and seizures may occur.
Cocoa bean:
Contains toxic theobromine that can be fatal to dogs. Also contains caffeine that can cause caffeine toxicity with

Increased heart rate, blood pressure and seizures may occur.
Coffee Bean:
Containes caffeine that can cause caffeine toxicity with symptoms such as hyperactivity, restlessness, muscle
twitches, increased urination and excessive panting. Increased heart rate, blood pressure and seizures may
