Forbidden Food: Grapes & Raisins

Standard

Grapes and raisins are highly toxic to dogs.

Although it remains a mystery what is the element causing the toxicity. Studies reveal that ingestion of small amounts of these elements can be fatal for our friends. In fact, they can cause serious kidney failures.

Unfortunately dogs are greedy and if they ingest and manifest vomiting and / or diarrhea with pieces of grapes (after 24 hours), loss of appetite, abdominal pain and kidney failure, go to the doctor immediately!

Do not give them grapes and raisins, we can not take the risk of losing our faithful companion for a grape.

Keep it in the house where they cannot reach it and, if claiming a snack, give them an apple (without its poisonous seeds).

Olive Oil

Standard

It’s beneficial to the hair, dermis and intestinal transit.

The extra virgin olive oil (EVO) is one of the fundamental ingredients of Mediterranean cuisine. It is recommended both for human beings and for dogs. Dog’s hair is nice if properly cleaned and brushed and some olive oil helps a lot. Just a teaspoon – but the amount depends on the size of the dog – of oil mixed with food, is the perfect treat for our friends to maintain a beautiful shiny coat.

Olive oil can be administered daily or on alternate days. Unsaturated fatty acids in olive oil are also good for the dog’s skin, but call your vet if you suspect that there is a dermatological problem. An additional benefit that pour dog can enjoy from olive oil is a help in case of constipation, but be careful because if the amount of olive oil gets too high you may run into the opposite problem, or diarrhea.
