Dangerous Desserts for Our Dogs – Chocolates, Sugars, Dairy products, and Yeasts

There are unhealthy or dangerous desserts for our dogs. With the many seasonal celebrations that we enjoy along with birthday parties, weddings, baby showers and many other party events.

These celebrations beckon our baking or no baking skills joyfully creating candies, cakes, pastries and specialty breads. Ingredients of chocolates, sugars, dairy products, and yeast add to our bad habits of eating too many sugary or fattening foods on these special occasions, and as you well know, we pay a price if we over indulge our sweet tooth.

You know that if we over indulge in eating these sugary delights our bodies will get heavier and larger and our weight rises and if we continue our bodies decline into medical problems such as diabetes mellitus and heart and circulation issues.

Our adorable puppies and dogs enjoy good foods just as we do, but unfortunately, these dessert foods that we love and enjoy cannot be shared with our canine friends.

Chocolate candy bars, cakes, pies, chocolate coated doughnuts or eclairs are treats that we relish. We also enjoy a good cup of coffee to wash down these sweets.

Veterinarians often remind us weight gain in our dogs will invite medical problems to their bodies. Not only would these foods bring about weight gain, but the ingredients of chocolate or cocoa, diet or natural sugars, milk and other dairy products, and yeast ingredients in baked goods, coupled with the caffeine would be extremely hazardous to our four-legged friends.

I know we are tempted when our pooch looks at us with those bright twinkling eyes, tilted head, and excited look of getting a treat, but what he does not know is the danger that lurks in that human treat.

Those delectable desserts would cause stomach aches, bloating, gas, intestinal rupture, and loss of coordination, lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, cardiac failure, heart palpitations, excessive thirst and frequent urination, overproduction of insulin, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, coma and death. These symptoms can occur within minues of eating or may be delayed a few hours.

Maybe your pooch picked up a very small piece from the floor that someone had dropped. You could correct this situation very quickly. However, if others at the dining table gave these treats, and you knew nothing about it, your pooch’s symptoms would require an emergency trip to the vet and unfortunately, you may get there too late.

Imagine arriving home and discovering that your pet ate a pound of chocolate candies from a box that someone negligently left open. That is exactly what happened to one of my friends.

She took the dog immediately to the vet and fortunately the vet was able to rescue the dog. That was fortunate because she did not know how much time had passed when her pet had finished eating the chocolates.

However, thereafter, the dog needed further treatments to try to get him back to his normal self. Not only did it burden the budget, but my friend paid the emotional distress that her doggie experienced in this medical emergency caused by carelessness.
