Foods not to feed Your Dog Foods not to feed Your Dog

Man’s best friend! From Yorkshire terriers to German shepherds to shihtzus poodles and Welsh Corgis, dogs are amazing and we love them.

You may be one of many dog lovers and owners who fall into a trance when you look into the mesmerising eyes and see the adorable grin that is accompanied by the wagging of the tail. You must admit, dogs are irresistible! However, we oftentimes forget that dogs are not human and feed them what we eat daily. ‘People food’, as many veterinarians call it, are bad for your dog’s health.

Candice Stewart engaged veterinarian Dr. Jodie-Ann Clarke about what NOT to feed pooches. Here are the main ones:

Fat trimmings – leads to pancreatitis
Bones – causes blockage of oesophagus
Eggs – salmonella infections
Grapes and Raisins – abdominal pains
Cornmeal – leads to liver disease
Marijuana – leads to depression or hyper-aggression
Chocolate – damages heart and nervous system

Dr. Clarke stated that a home-cooked diet with the right amount of everything is good to feed pooches. However, the most ideal thing is a well-balanced dog food such as those from Nestlé Purina Pet Care.

What better food to feed your pooch than food from Nestle Purina? The company ensures that the food items they manufacture cater to total nutrition. In this manner, you enhance the life and add to an increased lifespan of your pups and dogs. Ms. Georgia Balfour, Nestle Purina Brand Manager at CariMed Limited shared important details to note about the number one pick of food to feed to your pooch.

The dog foods from Purina ensure that “pet foods meet the highest standards of nutrition and continue to improve upon and develop the standards for overall pet and owner satisfaction”.
