Can Dogs Get Food Poisoning?
Our dog wasn't looking well the other day, he is 3 and a half months old now. We took him to the vet and the vet said that everything looked normal, but he may have a virus or something like that. He is now back from the vet and looks much better. Someone told us that they saw him eating some rotten meat a day before. Can this have had anything to do with him being sick?

The effects of food poisoning on dogs can be fatal in some cases and even ordinary foods can be poisonous to dogs so pet owners must beware when feeding their dogs leftovers and tidbits. Regardless of the fact that even well known brands of pet food can cause food poisoning in dogs due to accidental contamination, there are also many foods that contain toxins that are harmful to dogs. For example, some sugarless candies contain xylitol which it has recently been discovered can give dogs food poisoning that can result in liver damage and even death. Chocolate is another everyday product that can have severe side effects in dogs.
There are many signs of food poisoning to look for in dogs such as lethargic movements and a complete loss of appetite. Yellow jaundiced eyes and gums can indicate liver damage and food poisoning in dogs. Vomiting can also be an indication that the dog ingested toxic substances. It can take a number of days before a dog shows any signs of illness but if you fear that they may have eaten poisoned food, take them to a veterinarian even if they seem well

Many people are surprised to know that dogs can get many of the same ailments that we can get. My sister-in-law's puppy has diabetes and has to take insulin shots. They are just miniature people with alot more hair. Well in some cases ALOT more hair LOL!!! Glad your pup is feeling better.
