Many people will normally give their pet dog food which they may be snacking on or scrapes from around the table. But not all foods can be eaten or should be eaten by your dog. Here is a list created by Sarfaraz Nasir, a development officer for Petboro Pet Resort and Kennels in Bangalore, India. He provide home cooked food to all our canine guests when they vacation with him
1. Chewing Gum - Most chewing gum contains a sugar called Xylitol which has no effects on humans. However, it can cause a surge of insulin in dogs that drops a dog's blood sugar to dangerous level. If your dog eats large amount of gums, it can damage liver, kidney or worse.
