Foods You Should Never Feed Your Pets
All pets love an occasional treat, and you are probably happy to oblige. Just don't feed them these.
Pets love to beg and can look so pathetic, downright chiple even, doing it. Be careful when you give in, which you know you will, though. Some human foods can kill your furry freeloader. Chocolate is one of the worst things to give a dog, especially if it's baked. It can damage their lungs, heart, kidneys and nervous system. Also avoid:
- Milk for adult cats. Seriously, they're lactose intolerant.
- Grapes and raisins can make dogs very sick. Even as few as 4-5.
- Onions and garlic can really mess up a cat, breaking down their red blood cells.
- Gum. This can cause low blood sugar and severe liver damage in dogs.
