4. Corn
Corn is a popular vegetable that many people enjoy, but when it comes to sharing it with your pets, there are some things to keep in mind. For dogs, corn can be a healthy addition to their diet when given in moderation. It provides essential nutrients like protein, fiber, and antioxidants. However, avoid giving them corn on the cob, as it can pose a choking hazard or lead to intestinal blockage.
What happens if your pet eats it? Cats, on the other hand, are obligate carnivores and don’t have the digestive system to process corn efficiently. While small amounts are generally safe, it’s not recommended as a regular part of a cat’s diet.
3. Milk and Other Dairy Products
You should avoid feeding your pets milk or other dairy products because they are lactose intolerant shortly after they’re done breastfeeding.
What happens if your pet eats it? A few licks of ice cream can cause diarrhea and other digestive issues, and it can even trigger food allergies. The latter may cause itch and skin irritation. Just stick to giving them cold water on hot days.
