Many dogs will eat just about anything ,but just because something looks good to your pup doesn't mean it's good for it. Foods that people enjoy can have serious consequences for pets. Dogs develop hemolytic anemia if they eat enough onions, which means that the red blood cells break down leaving the dog short of oxygen. Onion poisoning can occur with a single digestion of large quantities or with repeated meals containg small amounts of onions. At first dogs affected by onion poisoning show gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea, weakness and show little or no intrest on food. Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic. When affected by an overdose of chocolate, a dog can become excited and hyperactive. Due to diuretic effect, it may pass large volumes of urine and it will unsually thirsty. Vomiting and diarrhea are also common. The effect of theobromine on the heart is the most dangerous effect. Theobromine will either increase the dog's heart rate or may cause the heart beat irregularly, death is quite possible.
