What foods should Huskies not eat?

Foods that Huskies cannot eat:

1. Chocolate. In addition to being high in fat, chocolate also contains caffeine and theobromine. These two substances mainly stimulate the mental system, so if you consume too much, it can cause husky poisoning. Different types of chocolate contain different amounts of caffeine and theobromine. For example, white chocolate contains the least amount, while dark chocolate and coffee beans contain very high amounts. Depending on the amount of chocolate consumed, the husky may experience vomiting and diarrhea. If the poisoning warning level is reached, the husky will show abnormal excitement, muscle spasms, frequent urination, asthma, and increased heartbeat and blood pressure.

2. Rotten and spoiled food. No one will take the initiative to feed spoiled food to Huskies, but Huskies like to rummage for food from the trash can. Once they eat spoiled food in the trash can, it will cause various diseases.

3. Raw or semi-cooked food. Raw or half-cooked food contains a large number of bacteria, such as salmonella, etc., and dogs will get food poisoning after eating it. Therefore, like humans, the meat they eat must be thoroughly cooked.

4. Pungent spices. Pungent spices such as ginger, curry powder, pepper, wasabi, and chili peppers are very irritating to the dog’s gastrointestinal tract and can put a burden on the liver and kidneys. Long-term consumption may even cause a Husky to lose its sense of smell.

5. Sweet and spicy food. Huskies can easily become obese if they eat sweet foods for a long time, and are prone to diabetes or sweet rich diseases. In normal times, you should avoid feeding your Husky biscuits and candies. Spicy food will paralyze the dog's sense of taste and make him unable to eat because it is too exciting.

6. Foods with high salt content. Foods containing salt are difficult for Huskies to digest, while many human foods contain a large amount of salt, which puts a heavy burden on Huskies and can easily cause problems such as hair loss.

7. Chicken bones. Chicken bones are small and sharp and can easily explode into spikes. Stab the dog's mouth and intestines.
