Why is it that human food makes my dogs sick?

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:51:33 +0000

Always whenever my mom gives my dogs human food they get sick. I’ve told my mom to stop giving them soup, hamburgers, pizza, bologna, rice, and vegetables, but she just won’t listen. She said because the veggies and rice are in some dogs food, the dogs can eat it. But I told her since they’re carnivores, that they can’t eat the same stuff we eat. But the weird thing is, they let out hair… and it’s green?

All dogs are supposed to eat just plain nutritious dog food. Human food is basically like candy for children once they eat they wont stop begging for more. Human food has a lot of harsh factors that dogs are not used to and it can cause them to become severely sick. Just like human food a lot of dog food you buy at the regular stores are even worse for dogs. If you look on the ingredients of almost every store brand dog food you will see "Corn" or "Puree" in the first 6 ingredients. Which are both reasons your dog may poop a lott or be hungry all the time. Try telling your mother than only rice or whole wheat is the only thing you can give your dog, and go to your local pet store and ask them what kind of dog food they have doesn’t have corn in the first six ingredients. It may be expensive to do this but it is the same way for children You wouldn’t give your newborn a hamburger to eat would you?

Do people honestly not realise that sick dogs need vet care?

admin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:54:41 +0000

I’m astounded at the number of questions on this board asking unqualified strangers what to do when their dog is showing serious signs of illness. While I can understand asking for advice if nothing is seriously wrong, when a dog is obviously sick what do people expect strangers on the internet to be able to do?

Why own a dog if you know you are/will be unable to afford even basic vet care?

I can understand them wanting advice. People’s financial situation changes and you can’t take it out on them for finances changing. However in saying that if their dog is bleeding or something serious like that I do not understand why they waste their time on here but if it’s something like blood in the poo I can understand.

As long as the dog gets the help it needs in the end

Why do dogs get sick from eating chocolate?

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 06:29:18 +0000

What is it inside the chocolate that makes the dogs sick? Why and how does it make them sick?

Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic. When affected by an overdose of chocolate, a dog can become excited and hyperactive. Due to the diuretic effect, it may pass large volumes of urine and it will be unusually thirsty. Vomiting and diarrhea are also common. The effect of theobromine on the heart is the most dangerous effect. Theobromine will either increase the dog’s heart rate or may cause the heart to beat irregularly. Death is quite possible, especially with exercise. Symptoms of chocolate poisoning include: vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, hyperactivity, irregular heartbeat and seizures.

Larger quantities of chocolate can poison or even kill a medium or large dog. An ounce or two of chocolate may not seem like much but it can be lethal to a small dog that weighs 10 lbs. or less. After their dog has eaten a large quantity of chocolate, many pet owners assume their pet is unaffected. However, the signs of sickness may not be seen for several hours, with death following within twenty-four hours.

Cocoa powder and cooking chocolate are the most toxic forms. These forms of chocolate contain ten times more theobromine than milk chocolate. Even licking a substantial part of the chocolate icing from a cake can make a dog sick. The next most dangerous forms are semi-sweet chocolate and dark chocolate, with milk chocolate being the least dangerous. A dog needs to eat more than a 250gm block of milk chocolate, however the high amount of fat found in milk chocolate can lead to an attack of pancreatitis.

1 ounce per pound of body weight (2 ounces per kg of body weight) for milk chocolate.
1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight ( 1 ounce per 1.5 kg body weight) for semi-sweet chocolate
1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight ( 1 ounce per 4 kg) for baker’s chocolate.

During many holidays such as Christmas, New Year’s Day, Easter and Halloween, chocolate is often accessible to curious dogs, and in some cases, people unwittingly poison their dogs by offering them chocolate as a treat or letting them lick a frosting bowl.

what are the symptoms of chemical poisoning in dogs?

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:21:06 +0000

My 2 dogs became very ill and died almost simultaneously. I believe they may have ingested something toxic that the neighbour threw in my yard. One dog became extremely weak, had a blood transfusion but did not improve as her liver gave out. Her skin turned very yellow and she was unable to move herself. The other dog started bleeding profusely , became extremely weak and had to be put down.

Somebody must have been real sick of listening to those things bark! That sounds like two completely different poisons – if they were poisons.

Can dogs make you feel better when you feel sick?

I have a spaniel and I’m currently sick. She’s laying with me right now because I heard that when you’re sick, dogs help make you feel better. Is this true?

the comfort they give you when your sick can maybe make you feel better.my dog will always be by my side while im sick, she doesnt give me a choice.

Why do people still have pet dogs when they know they kill?

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:41:19 +0000

Many people have pet dogs but they know that they can kill with their bites. Millions of people die each year due to dog bites, usually the owner but sometimes innocent people such as kids.

Dogs are clearly wild animals, let them be wild, they are unsafe.

Oh and it isn’t just ALWAYS because the owner has treated them bad.
I was biten by a random dog for no reason.
I was at a park, dog was running lose and attacked me.

PEOPLE ARE MORONIC SCUM IN GENERAL , AND DOGS ARE DANGEROUS
A LOT OF LITTLE BOYS WITH SMALL PENISES LIKE TO HAVE A BIG DOG BECAUSE THEY CANT FIGHT AND THEY FEEL SCARED,
PEOPLE SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED DOGS WITHOUT A LICENSE, LIKE A GUN . OR ANYTHING ELSE WHICH CAN KILL
