狗狗絕對不能吃的 5 種食物
我們都希望狗狗健康快樂,但要抗拒把餐桌上的剩菜餵給毛孩的誘惑,確實不容易。偶爾給點特別的零食或許無傷大雅,但有幾種常見食物對狗狗來說相當危險。為了避免悲劇發生,請避開以下 5 種狗狗絕對不能吃的食物。

1. 洋蔥與大蒜
無論以何種形式出現,洋蔥和大蒜對狗狗都是絕對禁忌。這些食物可能會損害狗狗的紅血球,導致貧血。如果狗狗不小心吃到少量,通常應該不會有大礙。不過,反覆接觸這些食物可能會為牠帶來嚴重問題。若擔心狗狗吃下大量洋蔥或大蒜,請留意貧血症狀,包括虛弱、嘔吐、對食物失去興趣,以及呼吸困難。

2. 葡萄/葡萄乾
許多飼主會用葡萄和/或葡萄乾當作狗狗零食,但這些食物對寵物健康相當危險。雖然科學家尚未確定確切原因,但已知葡萄和葡萄乾會造成狗狗腎衰竭。即使是極少量也可能讓狗狗生病。為避免這種悲劇,請將葡萄和葡萄乾放在狗狗碰不到的地方。持續嘔吐是狗狗吃下這些食物的明確徵兆,並且在一天內,牠會變得無精打采、不像平常的樣子。若發現這些警訊,請立即就醫。
 
3. 糖果
許多種類的糖果和口香糖都使用一種名為木糖醇的成分來增添甜味。雖然人類可以安全食用這種成分,但它可能嚴重擾亂狗狗的身體系統。木糖醇會增加狗狗體內的胰島素量,進而造成血糖降低及肝衰竭。協調能力喪失、嘔吐和精神不振,都是狗狗食用木糖醇的早期警訊。牠也可能頻繁癲癇發作。若發現任何這些警訊,請立即帶牠去看獸醫。

4. 夏威夷豆
夏威夷豆可能對狗狗致命,絕對不應作為零食餵食。即使是極微量的這類堅果,也可能導致狗狗生病並使牠的身體中毒。夏威夷豆中毒的症狀包括肌肉顫抖、虛弱/癱瘓、嘔吐、發燒和心跳加快。若與巧克力一起食用,夏威夷豆會使症狀惡化,甚至可能導致死亡。請將這類堅果及所有含有它們的食物,妥善放在毛孩碰不到的地方。

5. 酪梨
酪梨含有柿樹素(persin),可能對狗狗有毒。雖然你可能喜歡吃酪梨醬,但狗狗的身體無法承受酪梨中這種物質的大量攝取。少量食用不太可能造成持續性的傷害,但仍建議讓狗狗遠離酪梨。如果你在家種植酪梨,請將其遠離狗狗玩耍的區域 – 除了果肉本身,種子、葉子和樹皮中也含有柿樹素。

雖然偶爾餵狗狗吃點特別的零食很誘人,但許多常見食物對狗狗都很危險。為了讓寵物健康快樂,請避免餵牠吃這五種危險食物。

    Hi Petbucket
    Thank you for the advice.
    While we knew about the onions and garlic and perhaps chocolate, we did not know about the other no-nos.
    With thanks

    You didn't say what the symptoms are for ingesting avocados (persin). Please advise

  8. Petbucket

    Hi DC,
    Some symptoms from ingesting avocados can include: stomach upsets, nasal congestion, breathing difficulties, vomiting, diarrhea and in very serious cases fluid build up around the heart. As always, the best thing to do is consult your vet immediately if you have any concerns. Hope this helps, PB.

    I had no idea that avocado was harmful. My girls love the tiny bites that I occasionally give them. My poodle has become sensitive to anything fatty, so I have stopped giving her any treat that has a fat content to it, even peanut butter. Well, absolutely no more avocado.
