Are you aware of these common foods that are toxic to dogs? 

Grapes and Raisins are a big no-no for your furry friend. Even small amounts of grapes or raisins can be toxic and lead to kidney failure, so please make sure to keep them out of reach.

Chocolate, although delicious for us, contains methylxanthines, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and even death in dogs. So please be mindful of where you keep your chocolate stash!

Macadamia nuts, which are commonly found in trail mix, cookies, and muffins, can cause weakness, incoordination, and overheating in dogs. If your pet has consumed any macadamia nuts, please call us immediately.

Rhubarb, although healthy for us, is an irritant and contains oxalic acid, which can lead to kidney failure in rare cases. If your dog has ingested rhubarb, please bring them in for evaluation as soon as possible.

Onion, garlic, and chives are poisonous to dogs and can cause anemia, vomiting, and diarrhea. If your pet has consumed any of these foods, please bring them in for evaluation and treatment.

Avocado plants contain Persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs, and if consumed in large quantities, can lead to choking or blockage. Please make sure to keep these out of reach as well.

Common poisoning symptoms include: vomiting, drooling, incoordination, swelling of the mouth, abnormal body temperature, twitches and tremors, breathing difficulty, seizures, and passing out.

If your pet has been poisoned, immediately remove your pet from the source of the poison and call us for advice - even if your pet seems fine.
