Sorry Fido: Pizza is not the Best Dog Food
January 31st, 2010 | by admin |Onions and garlic are definitely not the best dog foodfor our pets. These contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Of the two, onions are more of a danger.
If a dog has onion toxicity it will develop haemolytic anaemia, which is where the dog’s red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. The noticeable symptoms include labored breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, and discolored urine. Kidney damage occurs. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. We need to keep in mind that even the innocent piece of left over pizza or Chinese food can cause illness.
