As a dog owner, you may be familiar with the foods your dog should and should not eat. There are numerous options that are safe for your dog as well as options that could cause harm. Always check with your vet before feeding your dog anything new. You can also check online at sites for the ASPCA and other dog organizations to find lists of safe and unsafe foods. An example of one food to keep away from your dog is dough. Raw dough or bread dough contains yeast which can be hazardous to dogs. Why? Well, a dog’s stomach provides an ideal environment for swallowed yeast or dough to expand and rise. This could cause your dog’s stomach to expand which could then decrease blood flow to your dog’s stomach and affect his breathing. Yeast also metabolizes the sugar in the dough causing the production of alcohol. Learn more from your pet clinic Norwalk CA.
