Foods to avoid in dog treats
Raisins are one such example of an ingredient that should be avoided in dog treat recipes. Both
grapes and
raisins have been known to cause renal failure in
dogs. One or two
grapes may not be cause for concern, but these products should be avoided in dog
treat recipes and you should seek veterinary intervention if your dog ingests either
grapes or
raisins in any moderate quantity.
Onions are yet another such ingredient that should never be used in dog treat recipes. Many people often make the mistake of thinking that an onion is a great flavor for
dog treats but digesting
onions even in small doses can make
dogs susceptible to a certain type of anemia. Smaller
dogs are even more prone to this anemia after ingesting
onions.
Before following any dog treat recipes, it is important to review the ingredients and ensure that each one is safe for consumption by
dogs. It is important to note that seemingly harmless ingredients to you and I can be toxic and even deadly when consumed by
dogs.
