10 Foods to Never Feed Your Dog

5. Alcohol

The drunken doggie may be funny in cartoons, but in real life, it’s no laughing matter. Alcohol affects dogs in the same way that it does humans by depressing the central nervous system and stressing the liver. It takes only a very small amount of alcohol to make your dog ill. Canine alcohol consumption can lead to poor coordination, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, coma and death. Keep alcoholic beverages out of the reach of your dog and make sure to promptly clear away any unfinished drinks, especially if they have garnishes that your furry friend may find tempting.
