Lemons can be toxic to your dog. Lemons contain something called psoralen; this thing can cause your dog vomiting and diarrhea, not just that, a large amount of it can cause your dog kidney failure, difficulty in walking, and death.

Not to mention, that there are products that you use every day, contains alcohol; mouthwash, perfumes, and some of the cleaning products.

XYLITOL

For those who don’t know what xylitol is, it is a sugar substitute that often found in candy, gums, baked goods, and all of those yummy products. Xylitol can cause a rapid blood drop to your dog, liver damage, and even death.

So, yes. If you like candy, and can’t get enough of it; you need to stay away from your dog while eating it, because he/she can’t have any!

GARLIC

Some people use garlic in almost everything, and yes, it is tasty. However, it contains thiosulfates, which is extremely toxic for your dog. Thiosulfates can damage your dog’s blood cells, and also lead to anemia, vomiting, and diarrhea.

COCONUT

Coconut and coconut oil are high in potassium products, and should not be given to any dog. No matter how delicious it is, and how extremely crunchy is the fruit, or how much you believe your dog will like it. Your dog can’t have coconut.

Coffee, caffeine, and chocolates

Heartbreaking, right? I also enjoy these products a lot, can’t imagine how I can spend my day without my morning coffee, and the pleasure I take from that little piece of chocolate that I take in the break. However, our lucky dogs don’t feel the same, because those products contain a substance called methylxanthines, which is extremely toxic to them.

Even dark chocolates? Especially the dark chocolates.

Dark chocolates are the most dangerous because it contains the highest level of methylxanthines. Yes, I know that dark chocolates are better for our diet, but it is extremely toxic for our four-legged friends.

GRAPES AND RAISINS 

Nope, they can’t eat that, too.

Grapes and raisins can cause your dog kidney failure, so don’t feed your dogs any of them.

ICE-CREAM

According to the American Kannel Club, dogs can’t eat ice-cream. And that’s because of three main problems: milk, sugar, and flavors.

As mentioned before, sugar is extremely toxic for dogs, especially the xylitol, moreover,  dogs digestive system is not made to digest milk products. So, it can cause your dog’s gas, diarrhea, and vomiting. 

Also, the flavors that are used in the ice-cream like: chocolate, coffee, Raspberry … etc. Can be extremely toxic for your dog.
