Dog Food Precautions
28 Oct 2008
A lot of dog owners like dressing their dog up for Halloween and including their dog in the activities of the day. One word of caution if this includes you. First, be careful about any foods that your dog may have access to that he or she normally would not. Most people know that dogs should not eat chocolate but their are also many other foods that can harm your dog or cause an allergic reaction.
Some of the other foods and drinks that can cause an allergic reaction or worse in dogs are alcoholic beverages, caffeine drinks, grapes and raisins, macadamia nuts, sugar. There may be other foods that can cause a bad reaction in a dog depending on the breed so take extra care so you know what your dog is consuming.
Another possible problem can be caused by putting a costume on a dog. Some costumes are made of materials or have dyes in them that may occasionally cause a skin irritation or allergic reaction to some dogs. When exposing your dog to contact with a material they have never been in contact with before you need to be careful that it is not causing them a problem.
Involving your dog in your daily activities is a great idea and can help build your relationship and keep your dog active and involved. Just make sure you are not exposing him or her to anything that might prove harmful.
