unattended, my dog had the very unfortunate habit of
This
crazy dog was always drawn to garbage disposals because of my lack of
vigilance of the time. One day, he even destroyed a garbage bag and
stuffs himself with a chicken carcass that could well have cost him
is life. Who was to blame in this
story, my dog or me? Clearly me, the owner, who had a little
forgetfulness, distraction, which has failed to take the necessary
precautions so that the dog in question is not tempted by the devil
of garbage. Although coveted by all canine
which could be harmful to our dog.
OBJECTS THAT ARE FILIBUSTERING
Meat and chicken
bones as well as pieces of plastic, metal, paper or fabric swallowed
with speed can sometimes cause an obstruction to the bottom of the
mouth and can create a choking. These objects may get stucked
somewhere in the digestive system (the esophagus, stomach or
intestines), and sometimes even downright puncture or teared apart
these organs. Yes! Nothing better for that than a splinted bone. All

BACTERIA IN THE BAG
Spoiled food that has been in the trash can easily contain an astronomical number of bacterias that can cause food poisoning. The food does not always need to be left in the garbage for a long time to be harmful. For example, the juice and skin of raw chicken can contain salmonella while the juice of raw beef, may contain the famous bacteria E. coli. Vomiting, cramps and diarrhea are then in the program. Sometimes these food poisoning are so powerful that they necesitent hospitalization of the animal.

When the expiration date has passed and they are corrupted, certain foods such as pasta, nuts, grains and cheese may contain molds that produce toxins particulaly capable of causing tremors and muscle fasciculations so violent that they resemble seizures.

Many things that are sometimes found in our trash can be potentially toxic to our pets. Some humans medications, cleaners, insecticides, old batteries, bits of plants and cut flowers, other chemicals, cigarette butts, etc.. There are, of course, many foods that we consume without problem (which we throw in the trash) coffee chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, fat stalk from corn, which can also be toxic or harmful to our faithful companions.
