Hi! This is duz😀
If you live with a dog, you may be curious about what kind of food the dog can or cannot eat.
Today, let's find out about vegetables that dogs can't eat and why.
[ Onion (including skin) ]
Onions contain an ingredient called "thiosulfate." 🧅
This ingredient is said to oxidize hemoglobin and destroy red blood cells.
Thiosulfate is not destroyed even when heated, so even if you eat ripe onions, your red blood cells are destroyed, causing anemia, serious liver damage, and turning your urine color red.
When a dog eats onions, he or she will vomit or diarrhea, and anemia can strain the heart, causing him or her to breathe hard, and if it gets worse, he or she can die from a heart attack 😥
Therefore, when your dog eats onions, you should visit the hospital immediately for examination, and thiosulfate is not destroyed even when heated, so even if you ate ripe onions, you should visit the hospital for examination.
[ Green onions, chives, garlic ]
Green onions, leeks, and garlic contain ingredients like onions 🧄 "thiosulfate."
As I said earlier, this ingredient oxidizes hemoglobin, destroying red blood cells.
Since it has the same ingredients as onions, it shows the same symptoms as when eating onions, so if your dog ate spicy vegetables such as green onions, leeks, and garlic, please visit the hospital immediately for a test.
[ Water parsley ]
Water parsley is rich in dietary fiber and 🥬 antibacterial vegetables that are beneficial to humans, but when dogs eat water parsley, hemolytic anemia occurs.
Hemolytic anemia is a symptom of the destruction of red blood cells and difficulty in supplying oxygen to the body, resulting in death in severe cases, like the symptoms of consuming onions and garlic. 😢
Please be careful because cooking water parsley does not mean you can escape the danger.
[ Mugwort ]
Mugwort, one of the plants that Koreans are very familiar with, is one of the plants that 🥬 dogs should not eat.
Mugwort has an ingredient called "cineol."
Cineol has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, so it is a good ingredient for humans to help remove blood waste, but when a dog consumes this ingredient, it can cause poisoning symptoms.
Addiction symptoms include shortness of breath, vomiting and seizures, excessive drooling or loosening of pupils 😥
Eating mugwort does not cause symptoms immediately, so if you eat mugwort, you should watch it for up to 48 hours.
The same symptoms may appear not only in mugwort but also in herbs such as eucalyptus, rosemary, and basil, so be careful.
[ Macadamia ]
Macadamia is one of the nuts that people enjoy eating.
Macadamia can cause poisoning in dogs 🥜
Just as raisins and grapes are harmful to dogs, 🍇 It is not yet known why macadamia is harmful to dogs.
If a dog consumes macadamia, symptoms do not appear immediately, but you should watch for up to 48 hours.
Macadamia poisoning symptoms include vomiting, high fever, paralysis of the hind legs, and stumbling.
Also, since each dog has a very different sensitivity to macadamia intake, the exact figure is unknown.
[ Spinach ]
Spinach has an ingredient called "oxalic acid," so 🌿 You have to be careful when your dog eats it.
Oxalic acid combines with calcium to form calcium oxalate.
This calcium oxalate can cause stones.
However, spinach contains abundant nutrients such as vitamins A, B, C, K, calcium, and magnesium, so there are many ingredients that are good for dogs' eye health, skin health, and bones. 🙂
In the case of oxalic acid in spinach, blanching spinach for 2-3 minutes or more removes oxalic acid to some extent, so when you pay for it, you can cook spinach more fully than when humans eat it.
However, you should not pay a large amount, and your dog cannot digest dietary fiber, so you should pay a small amount by cutting it into small pieces.
I found about the vegetables that you can't eat.
There were also vegetables that were not eaten differently from people and vegetables that had different ways of paying.
I hope today's posting helped you guys living with your dog and I'll come back with a helpful one next time.
