Toxic Food for Dogs

In toxic food for dogs, you may be looking for a list which includes, chocolate, onion and garlic. What I find much worse are the insidious effects of...

Feeding the same food day after day becomes toxic food for dogs. As our canines are slowly poisoned, we don't even know what it is. They suffer from flea infestations, skin ailments, ear problems and then debilitating disease.

I'll get back to the chocolate, onions and garlic later. Right now I think it's much more important to pass along that dog food manufacturing is a ten billion dollar a year market and its much easier to get your loyalty by commercials than good ingredients.

Dog Food Ingredients to Avoid

Compounding the issue of these less than quality ingredients, fed on a daily basis, our dogs suffer from skin allergies and disorders, infections and disease which shortens their lifespan by 1/2 of what it should be.

Dog food manufacturers have increasingly capitalized on marketable catch phrases like “no corn", “premium”, “natural” and “organic”. This is to convince you they are taking care of your dog's health.

The fact is, ANY single foods or specific ingredients are ALL harmful if fed exclusively. I know it's easy and convenient to just pour one food from one package day after day, please don’t fall into that poisonous trap.

For optimal health, to avoid your canines meal from becoming toxic, he needs variety! If you must feed dry dog food, find a few varieties with different ingredients and supplement that food as much as possible with a variety of meats, vegetables and healthy whole grains.

I know it takes more effort to feed a healthy variety, but a little annoyance now is far better than the tragedy of painful debilitating disease later.

Don't make the mistake I made. Here is the hard way to learn about dog food nutrition.

Oh, and about that chocolate, onion and garlic?

• Chocolate for dogs
  I've always heard chocolate was poisonous for dogs so I was very careful to keep it away from them. Then it happened. My dog ate chocolate. She found my chocolate stash and had the time of her life. What happened?

  In the meantime my sister gave her dog an oreo chocolate cookie every day for the 15 years her dog lived, and she survived. Go figure.

• Is Onion Poisonous?
  Well, I didn't hear that one until I'd fed my dogs leftovers with onions in them for 30 years, so obviously I didn't notice a problem.
• Never give a dog garlic!
  This one irritates me every time I hear it. Garlic for dogs is a wonderful healing herb and I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't give it to my dogs!
