Are You Poisoning Your Pet?


The top "people foods" you should never feed your pet.

Yeah, I’m shocked by every plate in front of me. Apparently, a lot of pet owners give their dogs raw eggs or meat. (Yeah) saying that this is what they would, I guess, essentially eat in the wild in their natural habitat.

I don’t wanna (Not a good idea) I don't want to freak people out of here(ok) because you know, you’re gonna have chicken and eggs to cook for yourself. And if you can cook for yourself, for your children, then you can cook for your pets. I don’t wanna overblow the risk, but uncooked chicken and eggs have salmonella and E.coli they can have. And one of the things that's unusual for eggs is you would think, and I have clients do this. All the ? so dry I will give them a raw egg. There’s actually something in there called avidin in a raw egg that binds up biotin which is a necessary B vitamin for skins. So you actually get dry skin from them giving raw eggs. Cooked eggs are just not a problem. (OK).So, but you are actually, you think you are doing it to help their skin, and actually you are hurting their skin. So…

No, no, stay away. All right, and we have here onions and some garlic.

And chives. Now this is an unusual thing here, it can cause stomach upset. And it /low doses. Some of the pet recipe you have some of treats have this. And low dosage is not gonna be a problem, but you especially see this in cats that if have something that has a lot of onions in it. It actually causes the red blood cell to lice. And so you actually see them urinate. There will be blood in the urines. So you can…really severe cases like if a dog or cat eat a whole onion, you could actually see them in a severe medical emergency. Small amounts are ok, but you know, since again we don’t know the dosage…I won't include that in your homemade recipe.

.....stay away, ok. How about raw bones. Yes or No? And milk. It’s very cliché to give a cat milk. Raw bones and milk.

I’d say raw bones no, in the wild yes, but they are not used to it. You’ll see a lot of medical emergency where the bone splinters perforate their intestines, you know. (Ok, stay away, what about milk?) Milk, you take lactase, you know, just think about a puppy or kitten, they don’t have cow’s milk ,they have their mother’s milk, right.( Right). So they don’t have lactase, they just lack lactose. /Small amounts of milk are ok, but there are other products Cat-Sip that are available and have no lactose and they are much better substitute.

Look the same, but made of different ingredients. Ok, and lastly, we wanna bring Miya back because you have some very interesting tips when it comes to …How do you say that word. (Ministering). Ministering (yeah) thank you.

Well, you know

Or medications to the dog.

Yeah, you always want to call animal poison control if you have a problem or anything. ASPCA// , ‘Cause they are very experienced on what to do with these, available 24 hours, but you make call them or your veterinarian and if your pets are poisoned with, say just a drain cleaner. You don't want to regurgitate the drain cleaner. So you want to call them first, the pets are seisuring, already showing signs. You don’t wanna make him regurgitate, but let’s say just got into Decon, the rat poisoner, just ate a bunch of macadamia nuts and then want it to make a vomit.

I want you do is just get / your regular household hydrogen peroxide here. And what I wanna show you, a lot of times if you try to give medicates, or medicates to a dog. You know, you open their mouth up, and people open it up and they try to score it right over the base of their mouth here. What is a pet ends up, just spitting it out. So what you do is you just grab the corner of the lip right here, watch this and you just score it right here like a funnel, and it’ll run right down the back of their throat, and it' gone. (Seemless.) So just use it like a funnel right down the base to down the throat. Never ends up on you.
