When your poodle looks up at you with those big, brown puppy dog eyes, it can be extremely difficult to say no to sharing your snack. But giving your dog a piece of your table scraps can sometimes do more harm than good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only can it be bad for their weight if you\u2019re giving them snacks regularly, but some human food is downright dangerous for your poodle to consume! Before sharing any human food with your poodle, you\u2019ll want to make sure it\u2019s safe for them to ingest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

While some toxic foods like grapes or chocolate<\/a> are commonly known, you might be surprised at some of the foods that will send your dog straight to the emergency veterinarian! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nine most toxic foods for poodles include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Alcohol<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Avocado<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Caffeine<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Chocolate<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Grapes and Raisins<\/strong><\/li>
  6. Macadamia Nuts<\/strong><\/li>
  7. Onions and Garlic<\/strong><\/li>
  8. Yeast Dough<\/strong><\/li>
  9. Xylitol<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    To ensure your poodle remains in great health, avoid giving your pooch any of the toxic foods on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Alcohol Should Not Be Shared With Your Poodle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This should be a no-brainer, but your poodle can not have alcohol. Not even on a special occasion like their third birthday (because they turned 21 years old in dog years)! The same way alcohol can make you feel dizzy, sick, or uncoordinated, the same will happen to your poodle\u2014but worse! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Poodles are much smaller than humans, which means it only takes a small amount of alcohol<\/a> to really impact them. Giving them beer, wine, or liquor, could lead to alcohol poisoning with symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and in worse case scenarios, death.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your poodle has gotten into alcohol, you need to contact a veterinarian immediately to avoid the dangers of intoxication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Avocado Can Cause an Upset Stomach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A common misconception is that poodles can ingest avocados, when in fact, they can cause major issues for your dog. Avocados contain a component called persin that can cause your poodle to vomit or have diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your dog consumes an excessive amount of avocados, this could cause major upset for their stomach and lead to severe stomach cramps and pain that would require the attention of a vet. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Persin isn\u2019t just in the meat of the avocado, but if you are growing your own avocados you need to keep your poodle away from the leaves, seeds, and bark on the trees. Not only is persin dangerous to dogs, but the pit inside the avocado can also be extremely fatal and a choking hazard if ingested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Caffeine Affects a Poodle, Too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When you\u2019re tired, coffee might be the way you wake up in the morning. If you have a tired poodle on your hands, caffeine is not the answer! Caffeine can be found in coffee, tea, soda, and energy drinks, and if any of these are enjoyed by your dog, he won\u2019t be enjoying the side effects for long! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If ingested, keep an eye on your poodle and look for signs of vomiting, restlessness, elevated heart rate, and seizures<\/strong>. If any of these symptoms are present, or anything seems out of the ordinary, take your poodle to the vet right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
