Food

Does your pet love ice cream and chocolate? We know some do, but that isn’t a good idea for a treat! While your pet can beg for it, while you eat – these foods do damage. If there’s anything better than seeing your lovable pet happy with a treat, it is the knowledge you are giving them the healthiest pet treats available to mankind. That’s where Garden SnaPets comes in. Transitioning your pet to a diet that includes healthy and natural pet treats can be beneficial if done correctly. However, it’s crucial to know which human foods are safe and which are harmful to your pets. The advantage of human treats for pets can be obvious – it’s a convenient and seemingly (only seemingly!) healthy option! However, certain foods that are safe for humans can be toxic to pets, and must be avoided at all times. Here’s a guide to help you navigate this transition. Human Foods You Should Never Feed Your Cat or Dog Some human foods are toxic to pets and should be avoided at any cost. These include: Chocolate Reason: It contains theobromine and caffeine, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, and seizures in pets. Ice Cream Reason: Many pets are lactose intolerant, and ice cream can cause digestive upset, including gas, diarrhea, and bloating. Additionally, ice cream often contains high sugar levels and artificial flavors that are unhealthy for pets. Cookies Reason: Often high in sugar and fats, cookies can lead to obesity and dental issues. If they contain chocolate, raisins, or xylitol, they are especially dangerous. Cake Reason: Similar to cookies, cake is high in sugar and fats. Ingredients like chocolate, raisins, and artificial sweeteners can be toxic to pets. Doughnuts Reason: Doughnuts are high in fat and sugar, leading to obesity and pancreatitis. They often contain chocolate or other harmful ingredients. Chips Reason: High in salt and fat, chips can cause digestive upset, sodium ion poisoning, and long-term health issues like obesity and heart disease. Candy Reason: Candy is high in sugar and often contains xylitol, which is highly toxic to pets. Even small amounts can cause hypoglycemia, seizures, and liver failure. Popcorn Reason: While plain popcorn isn’t toxic, buttered, salted, or flavored popcorn can lead to obesity, dehydration, and digestive issues. Kernels can also pose a choking hazard. Marshmallows Reason: High in sugar and often containing xylitol, marshmallows can cause severe health issues including hypoglycemia, obesity, and dental problems.
