Fruits and vegetables are Toxic to dogs

We agree the One of the most cherished times a dog has is when he’s feeding. Whether it’s kibble or the rock out of the garden… dogs love to eat. While fruits and vegetables may seem harmless, in fact some can be toxic to your dog. Keep in mind that these may not be great and may harm for your pet, they usually require extremely large portions for major harm to be caused. But if you do find your pet enjoying one of these human treats make sure to consult
your vet!

Fruit	Explanation
	Avocado Contains a toxin known as persin that can cause mild stomach upset. However, if an avocado pit is ingested, it can cause intestinal obstruction and require surgery
	Grapes and Raisins ingestion can lead to kidney failure. Watch your pet for vomiting and lethargy for up to 24 hours.
	Onions and Garlic members of this family contain a chemical that can damage dog’s red blood cells. The more concentrated it is, the more harmful it can be, so avoid foods that contain onion powder, minced dried garlic, and all forms of these foods.
	Green Tomatoes and Tomato Vines Both contain atropine, which is toxic to dogs. The fruits are far less harmful after they ripen. Atropine can cause dilated pupils, tremors, cardiac arrest, and coma.
	Raw or Green Potatoes These contain a substance that is poison to canines. Cooked, fully ripen potatoes are safe, however, and potato is an ingredient in many commercial dog foods.
	Rhubarb Contains oxalates that can cause tremor, seizures, and an irregular heartbeat in your pet.
	Wild Mushrooms Avoid allowing your dog to consume any type of wild mushrooms and assume that all wild mushrooms are potentially toxic.
