What can Chinese Garden Dogs not eat? There are many foods that Chinese Garden Dogs cannot eat, such as chocolate, chicken bones, squid, shrimp and other indigestible foods, as well as greasy foods, raw or semi-cooked foods, sweet and spicy foods Food and irritating spices and other foods are not allowed to be eaten. Some foods may cause vomiting and diarrhea in Chinese Garden Dogs. In severe cases, it may even kill the dog.

Chocolate

In addition to being high in fat, it also contains caffeine and theobromine. These two substances mainly stimulate the mental system, so if they are taken in too much, they can cause poisoning in Chinese garden dogs. Different types of chocolate contain different amounts of caffeine and theobromine. For example, white chocolate contains the least amount, while dark chocolate and coffee beans contain very high amounts. Depending on the amount of chocolate consumed, Chinese Garden Dogs may experience vomiting and diarrhea. If the poisoning warning level is reached, Chinese Garden Dogs will show abnormal excitement, muscle spasms, frequent urination, panting, and increased heartbeat and blood pressure.

Sweet and spicy food

Chinese Garden Dogs can easily become obese if they eat sweet foods for a long time, and are prone to diabetes or sweet rich diseases. In normal times, you should avoid feeding biscuits and candies to Chinese Garden Dogs. Spicy food will paralyze the dog's sense of taste and make him unable to eat because it is too exciting.

Food that is not easy to digest

Indigestible foods such as shrimp, squid, crab, octopus, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, zhichi, chicken bones, especially shrimps and crabs, can easily cause vomiting or diarrhea in Chinese Garden Dogs.

Greasy food

Greasy food contains a high amount of fat, which can make Chinese Garden Dogs obese and may cause pancreatic inflammation that is life-threatening to Chinese Garden Dogs. When the Chinese Garden Dog gets used to food with strong taste, its taste will become stronger and it will form a bad habit of being picky.

Raw or partially cooked food

Raw or half-cooked food contains a large number of bacteria, such as salmonella, etc., and dogs will suffer from food poisoning after eating it. Therefore, like humans, the meat they eat must be thoroughly cooked.

Pungent spices

Exciting spices such as ginger, curry powder, pepper, wasabi, and chili peppers are very irritating to the dog’s gastrointestinal tract and can put a burden on the liver and kidneys. Long-term consumption may even cause Chinese Garden Dogs to lose their sense of smell.

Foods high in salt

Food containing salt is not easy for Chinese Garden Dogs to digest, while many human foods contain a large amount of salt, which puts a heavy burden on small Chinese Garden Dogs and can easily cause problems such as hair loss.

Rotten food

No one will take the initiative to feed spoiled food to Chinese Garden Dogs, but Chinese Garden Dogs like to rummage for food from the trash can. Once they eat spoiled food in the trash can, it will cause various diseases. (Looks like I need to buy a litter box with a lid).

Dairy products

Dairy products are not very dangerous, but they may cause damage to Chinese Garden Dogs in two situations. One situation is that they contain too much fat. The dangers of high-fat foods (pancreatitis) have been stated above. Another situation is that the Chinese Garden Dog lacks digestive lactase. Some Chinese garden dogs are particularly serious and may cause diarrhea. Some Chinese Garden Dogs can eat small amounts of plain yogurt or cheese, but it's safer to avoid dairy.
