This
is a scene we’ve seen all too often: a cute pup sits below the dining room table
in hopes for a scrap of the lasagna to fall within his reach. After a while of
waiting, he begins to sit in front of his owners and pout up until the point
where they toss him a piece of garlic bread to make him happy.
Cabo Dog Boutique is guilty of it too. But here are some things not always known about the implications of giving our furry friends human food.
Diabetes. Veterinarians who have been in practice for many years report a sudden increase in diabetes in dogs. It begins with cheaper alternatives to dog food that use white rice and corn as a filer. Neither are natural food options for dogs and can directly affect the blood sugar of our furry friends.
Allergies. You got it, dogs have allergies too. Do you have friends that are allergic to peanuts or almonds? Some dogs can be too. Dogs can experience internal swelling and inflammation, or severe skin irritations, if given something that they are allergic to.
