We have all come across scenes where we see a dog being fed with food from the table when a human is eating. You need to understand that not all human foods are agreeable for a dog, and some can be lethal to them, even in the smallest quantities. Here is a list of the most dangerous human foods for dogs you need to be aware of and avoid.

1. Dairy products
All forms of dairy products, including milk, should never be shared with your dog. When you have ice cream, you may feel like giving the last bit to your dog. This is highly harmful to them as they can easily end up with diarrhea and other digestive tract issues. In some dogs, it can even end up triggering food allergies that will result in itchiness.

2. Xylitol
One of the most common sweeteners used in chewing gum, candy, baked goods, toothpaste, and even certain specific diet foods is xylitol. This is one element that has to be kept away from your dog in any form, as it can end up causing the blood sugar levels to drop drastically, which can start showing up with symptoms such as coordination problems, lethargy, and vomiting. In some cases, there may be symptoms of seizures as the health deteriorates. This can also end up leading to liver failure just within a few days.

3. Caffeine products
The idea of sharing your coffee with your dog can turn out to be fatal for them, even in the smallest of quantity. Any form of caffeine products, be it coffee or tea, or even the ground residue and beans, is to be kept away from dogs. In that list, you also need to add in chocolate, colas, cocoa, and any form of energy drink with even the slightest hint of caffeine. You need to note that even medication for cold and pain can contain certain elements of caffeine. You need to rush your pet to a vet if you think your dog may have ingested caffeine even by accident.

4. Avocado
Yes, some share avocado with their dogs, which is not an ingredient you want to play with. Some dogs may be able to ingest it without any impact. However, it can cause serious food allergies in other dogs due to the persin compound that avocados contain. You need to keep your dog away from the plants too. They can end up causing an accidental obstruction in the digestive tract and prove fatal if not handled immediately.

5. Onions and garlic
Any form of these food items is to be kept away from your dogs, as they have the power to drain out the red blood cells from the bloodstream and cause severe anemia. Even baby foods have an onion compound mixed into them, and it is wise to avoid feeding any such thing to your dog. Over ingestion of this compound can end up causing poisoning.
