There are a few foods which can harm your dog, some you may not have ever thought as being dangerous. Gum is very hard on the stomach to digest. For humans it can take months to years for us to digest it, but for dogs they may never digest it in their lifetime. Gum can easily build up due to being hard to digest and can lead to death or health problems. Getting your dog to throw it up as soon as you find out he ate it can help prevent those problems. But if you can’t get your dog to throw it up, take him to the vet.

Salt, which can be found in almost every drink there is and most foods, can cause your dog to become dehydrated. Enough of it can kill your dog if you wait too long.

One plant which you should always keep your dog away from is the Castor Bean plant. The Castor Bean plant is the most poisonous plant in world. The plant products a fruit which can kill humans in less then twenty four hours. If your dog happens to get a hold of one of these and eat it, take your dog to the vet. The fruit will cause more severe symptoms in a dog then a human depending on how much is eaten and the size of your dog. There are many more plants which can be dangerous to your dog’s health, but this is the most dangerous.

The first two are fairly common household items, and the last one will only grow in certain areas. If you’re planning to go out camping with your dog, try to stay away from areas where this plant would grow. And the other two you should keep out of the reach of your dog.
