Dogs do not always have the same chemicals to process food like humans do and in turn your dog can suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms like Vomiting, diarrhea, and other signs of poisoning.

A large percentage of the population knows about Dog Chocolate Poisonand is unsafe for dogs. The reasons behind why dogs can not process chocolate as efficiently as humans are because chocolate has a compound called theobromine.

This compound is an alkaloid, which dogs can not metabolize quickly enough. When dogs eat a large amount of chocolate, the theobromine starts to reach toxic quantities of concentration. This leads dogs to go into cardiac arrest. Other chocolate symptoms include heavy breathing, rapid heart rate, vomiting, diarrhea, and excessive urination.

Sugarless candies are toxic for dogs. Any sort of candy that contains the ingredient xylitol has been noted by the National Animal Poison Control Center as dangerous. Xylitol has been noted to cause liver damage and death to dogs that have eaten too much.

If you accidentally feed your dog sugarless candy or he has stolen some off the table, then it is best to contact Animal Poison Control instead of your local vet. Your vet might not be aware that sugarless candies are harmful to dogs as this is fairly recent information. Animal Poison Control will be able to better assist you in this emergency.

Grapes have been considered poisonous when eaten in large amounts. Feeding your pooch a couple of grapes every now and then will not harm your dog. If you feed your dog an entire bag of grapes or if he ate them without your supervision then contact a vet or Animal Poison Control immediately.
