Careful! These foods can even kill your cat or dog

Most of us consider our pets part of the family, so we tend to have the bad habit of sharing our food with them... But certain foods can be dangerous, cause intoxication, poisoning, and can even lead to death.

If you love to pamper your pet, it's best to ask your veterinarian what to give it as a treat, as each breed has its characteristics. We leave here the foods that should not, in any way, be offered to them!

Despite being a fruit and seeming innocent, Avocado is toxic to animals and can cause cardiorespiratory problems in both the pulp and the skin.

Chocolate is a food that should not be consumed by pets, including dogs and cats, due to the presence of caffeine and theobromine.

Garlic and onion destroy red blood cells in dogs and cats, even causing anemia in them! So avoid them and monitor their diet!

Dogs love to gnaw on bones, but you must avoid giving fish and chicken bones to them at all costs, including cats. Bones can break into small pieces causing breathing problems and peritonitis.

It couldn't be different! Like grapes, raisins are dangerous for pets and can cause sudden kidney failure.

Sausages are rich in salt and preservatives; ham, salami, and mortadella can cause gastric and even heart problems because of the increased frequency, which causes tachycardia.

The pulp and peel of the apple do not pose any danger to animals. The risk is in the cyanide seeds; the amount is small and not dangerous to humans but very poisonous to animals.

Raw eggs are dangerous for animals and humans because they have a high bacterial risk. In addition, consumption by animals can cause acute colitis.
