2. Bread/Toast
Bread and toast can be a harmless treat for dogs when given in moderation and if it’s plain without any additional toppings or ingredients like raisins, which are toxic to dogs. Whole grain or whole wheat bread is preferable as it offers more nutrients and fiber. However, bread offers little nutritional value for dogs and too much can lead to weight gain or an upset stomach.
What happens if your pet eats it? Generally, a small amount of plain bread or toast won’t harm your dog. However, consuming large quantities can cause bloating and discomfort. Always ensure that the bread does not contain harmful additives like xylitol, a sweetener that is extremely toxic to dogs.
1. Cheese
Cheese? Why not? Cheese is healthy and nutritious; it contains both fats and proteins. But you need to be aware of several health issues. However, this is not the case when it comes to your pets. They don’t have the same tolerance to cheese as humans. It might be okay to have a small amount of low-fat cheese.
What happens if your pet eats it? Pets might be sensitive to lactose, which could cause indigestion. This can lead to diarrhea and other digestive issues in your pet. It’s best to introduce cheese into a pet’s diet gradually and in small amounts and to monitor their reaction to it. If your pet shows any signs of digestive upset after eating cheese, it’s best to avoid giving it to them. Blue cheese can be toxic to pets and should be avoided.
