Sometimes, you can\u2019t resist but give them a piece of what you\u2019re eating to share some good food and show love. However, before you hand over that piece of human food, make sure it\u2019s safe for your dog to eat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing wrong with sharing human food with our pets, but not all of them are safe to eat, such as selected fruits, vegetables, sweets, etc. It can lead to mild or severe health problems once consumed. This is why we\u2019re sharing a list of food that are safe (and some even healthy!) and are not safe for your dog to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Harmful Food That Can Be Toxic For Your Dog<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as human food can taste good for us, the same cannot be said for dogs. Feeding them certain foods can cause stomach problems, diarrhea, and more.

It can affect your dog\u2019s health and cause breathing problems, choking, and coughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Salty and Spicy Food<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much salt and consumption of spicy food can cause severe health problems such as tremors, seizures, vomiting, stomach ulcers, and diarrhea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tomatoes and Raw Potatoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>They contain solanine that is toxic for dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Raw \/ Undercooked Egg, Meat, and Fish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumption of raw food can lead to your dogs ingesting harmful bacteria that is poisonous to them such as Salmonella, E.Coli, vomiting, lymph nodes, and fever. Make sure to thoroughly cook your meat or fish before giving it to your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yeast and Raw Dough<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It causes swelling in the stomach if your dog consumes it, which can lead to abdominal pains. Yeast can also cause alcohol poisoning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Citrus Fruits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumption and exposure can lead to allergies, irritation, and central nervous system problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Safe and Healthy Food Your Dog Can Eat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the list of safe and even healthy food is present and can be thoroughly enjoyed by your pooch! See the list of food your dog is allowed to eat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apples, Bananas, and Oranges (Avoid the Seeds, Core, and Pits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blueberries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully cooked meat, fish, and egg (minimal seasoning)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chicken, Beef, Salmon, Ham, Turkey, Tuna, Shrimp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cashews&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plain Bread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Honey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mangoes, Cantaloupes, and Pears<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pineapples<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watermelon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrots, Cucumber, and Celery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peanut Butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grains, Wheats, and Quinoa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green Beans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Popcorn (Unsalted, unbuttered, and air-popped)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While the list of OK and safe food for dogs to eat is quite extensive, the rule of thumb is to give them to your dogs in small and limited quantities. Anything in excess can sometimes affect your dog\u2019s health. Safe and healthy food can act as a treat for them. As for cooked meats and fish, they can be mixed in with your dog\u2019s food for their source of protein.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When in doubt, make sure to consult with your vet on acceptable food to feed your dog and diet recommendations to keep them healthy and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What To Do If My Dog Eats Unsafe or Toxic Food?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find your dog has accidentally ingested food that isn\u2019t safe for them, make sure to call your veterinarian as soon as possible. Check your dog\u2019s condition and monitor them. Look out for signs that may indicate your dog has eaten toxic food.
