dogs and there is no available antidote for
that. Rapid breathing, heart palpitation, muscle
tremors and fits are some of the symptoms which
occur. Dogs should stay away from colas,
chocolate, cocoa and some kinds of medicines and
painkillers.

GRAPES AND RAISINS
Grapes and raisins are often used as treats for
dogs. However it is not a good idea always as
they may cause kidney failure. Dogs can become
ill from a small amount. Repeated vomiting is an
early sign followed by becoming more lethargic
and depressed.

Sharing your ice cream cone with your dog on a
hot day may seem to be a cool idea but you
should better not do so. Diarrhea and stomach
upset are some causes of milk and milk-based
products. Dogs may also suffer from allergies
