* Chocolate is lethal to dogs.
Specifically, the dark chocolate kind. The major components
methylxanthine alkaloids and theobromine in regular chocolate is
digested & excreted by humans in as little as 3 hours but the
same compounds when ingested by dogs stays inside them for 18
hours. This has been proven to be fatal. Symptoms of chocolate
dog poisoning include vomiting, excessive urination,
hyperactivity, diarrhea, followed by seizure,

coma, and death.
* Read the label.
Dogs should have a diet rich in meat protein. When purchasing
canned foods, look for chicken, turkey meat, pork or other
animal by products as these keep the dog's coat smooth and

stressful routine change.
* Raw fish and eggs are a no-no.
Consistent consumption of raw eggs make a dog's skin breakout.
In canine terms - since eggs diminish the biotin available in
their body - dermatitis and hair loss are its usual effects. Raw
fish meanwhile results in thiamine-deficiency in a dog. Its
effects usually are loss of appetite, abnormal posture, weakness
and in some cases death.
Feed your dog a healthy diet and he will
