Did you know about these toxic and dangerous foods for dogs?
As a dog owner, it’s always a big question if human foods are good for your dogs or not. Sorry to break this but unfortunately, not every Human food is healthy for your dogs; in fact, some foods can actually be very toxic and can have a long-term negative effect on your favorite pet. So let’s figure out some foods that are a complete NO-NO to your dog. However, please note this is not a complete list, in case of food poisoning or allergies please consult your vet.

While these foods are mostly found in the human diet – they shouldn’t be fed to your Pet. A compound known as N-propyl disulfide is found on Onions which can cause anemia, thus avoid these foods in any form.
2. Chocolates:
