Experts named the three most dangerous products for cats: they act like poison – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

The entry of onion or garlic into an animal’s body can cause gastrointestinal upset. Additionally, cats are at greater risk than dogs. The situation is similar with citrus fruits. Eating salty foods can also cause dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.

The real poisons for pets are alcohol, chocolate (if your cat has eaten dark chocolate, call the vet immediately, experts warn), and coffee.

As experts note, if too much coffee can cause a person’s heart rate and blood pressure to increase, then for a cat such experiments are completely deadly. The drink can alter the functioning of the liver, kidneys, lungs and central nervous system of the animal.

Also, do not give cats grapes, raisins, nuts, yeast dough, raw chicken, or eggs. Milk can cause digestive problems in animals, veterinarians warn.

Previously, veterinarian Alexey Knyazkov noted the need to maintain a balance in the diet, which is helped by food already prepared specifically for animals. The necessary ingredients of such foods include: proteins, for healthy growth and proper physical development, fats and carbohydrates necessary for the pet’s energy (for example, cereals), fiber for good metabolism, found in fruits and vegetables dry.
