En Christmas we all tend to commit excesses in the matter of food. We do not realize the amount of food we eat and at the end of the holidays we find ourselves not only with extra kilos but also with discomfort. Well, something similar can happen to our pets. This happens because sometimes we share a lot of food with them and in these times they can end up with indigestion.
In general, we must not only take into account the amount of food that we give but also the type of food, because it can be harmful to them. There are foods that are even prohibited for dogs, so it is worth taking it into account before the holidays.
The healthy dogs They can eat almost everything we eat in general, but there are some foods that we should never give them. Sugar is quite prohibited, but chocolate is totally banned, because it is poisonous in large quantities for them. We know that for a little while nothing is going to happen, but it also depends on the health of the dog and its stomach, which can be more or less strong to changes. The best thing to do when in doubt is to avoid these foods, as well as others that have seeds or cooked bones, which can splinter.
We can always share some food with them, but the truth is that it is better to moderate. They do not have the same stomach or need as much food, especially if they are small breeds, and with excesses they can have stomach problems.
What should worry us most during these holidays is that the dog is eating too much. The stomach twisting It is a reality and it can happen to practically any dog, having more risk if they are fed in large quantities. That is why you have to avoid giving them too much food.
