They trust us with every bite. Those eyes, looking up with love, waiting for a piece of your snack or meal. But what if that bite holds danger?
At Aniheal Pet Hospital, we’ve seen too many pets rushed in for something preventable—accidental food poisoning. And it always starts the same way—with love, a treat, and a heartbreaking result.
Let’s protect our companions together. Knowing which common foods are toxic to pets could save your furry friend’s life.
That tiny piece of chocolate might seem harmless, but to dogs and cats, it’s poison. It can cause vomiting, seizures, and even heart failure. Never share your chocolate, no matter how much they beg.
Found in so many human meals, onions and garlic can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia in pets. Even powdered forms are dangerous.
Even small amounts can cause kidney failure in dogs. And the worst part? No one knows exactly why. Best to keep them far away.
A sip of beer, wine, or any alcohol can seriously harm your pet’s nervous system, liver, and heart. Always keep drinks out of paw’s reach.
Coffee, tea, energy drinks—caffeine overstimulates your pet’s heart and nervous system. It’s not just unsafe, it can be fatal.
Found in sugar-free gum, candies, and some peanut butters, xylitol causes a rapid insulin release that can lead to liver failure and death in dogs.
Cooked bones can splinter and injure your pet’s mouth or digestive tract. And fatty scraps can cause pancreatitis—a painful, serious condition.
A few of these nuts can cause weakness, vomiting, tremors, and high temperatures in dogs. They're small but dangerous.
Every pet parent wants to treat their furry friend. But love means learning. One moment of indulgence can turn into hours of pain—or worse. That’s a truth we see too often at Aniheal.
If your pet has eaten something they shouldn't, don’t wait. Call your vet immediately. We’re here to help.
