With higher temperatures in the summer, pet owners should be especially careful about the food they feed their dogs, as spoiled and expired food can lead to food poisoning in dogs. So what are some tips for pet owners to prevent food poisoning in dogs?
Pet owners feed their dogs food preferably fresh food that has been heated and processed and then cooled, the daily amount of food should be appropriate and not left over, and food that has been fermented and spoiled should be firmly poured out and not retained.
Spoiled food may contain bacterial toxins that are unlikely to be destroyed even by high temperature treatment. Food poisoning can be caused when dogs eat food containing toxins and can lead to death if not treated promptly. Therefore, whenever a dog develops symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and general weakness shortly after feeding, food poisoning may be suspected and veterinary treatment should be sought quickly. In summer, dogs and people alike will lose a lot of water, so it is important to keep them hydrated in a timely manner and make sure that there is always clean and sufficient drinking water in the dog’s food bowl.
It is important to draw attention to the fact that beverages such as tea and fruit juices do not have any additional benefits for canines, milk may cause skin problems in some dogs with sensitive bodies, and as for alcoholic beverages such as beer, they should be absolutely prohibited because their intestines and stomachs can not be burdened with alcoholic ingredients. Therefore, the best drink for canines is water.
