Along with knowing what your Doodle should eat, it’s also a good idea to learn some foods that your Doodle should not eat to ensure their safety and well-being. Some human snacks are safe in small doses; some are not! Here is a list of dangerous foods for your doodle puppy:

Avocado:

Avocados contain persin, a fungicidal toxin. Large amounts can be harmful to your puppy and may cause diarrhea and vomiting in your Doodle.

Chocolate:

Chocolates can cause abnormal heart rhythm and tremors in your Doodle. Chocolate contains the methylxanthines from caffeine and theobromine, which can trigger reactions like restlessness, vomiting and muscle spasms. Methylxanthines can cause several health problems for your dog.

Milk products:

Milk products such as cheese and ice cream can cause diarrhea and other digestive issues in Doodle puppies. Doodles do not carry enough lactase (which helps to break down lactose) to digest milk products properly.

Grapes:

A surprise to most people is grapes. They are among the most dangerous foods for a Doodle. Grapes contain toxins that can cause liver damage, kidney failure, and death.

Raw or undercooked eggs:

Raw eggs contain an enzyme called Avidin, which blocks the reception of Biotin (vitamin B) and can cause harm to your dog’s coat and skin.

Xylitol:

Xylitol is a natural sugar used as a sugar substitute in many consumer goods. Gum, sugar-free food, mouthwash, toothpaste and cough syrup contains Xylitol. Xylitol is dangerous to Doodles because it is proven to cause a drop in blood sugar, potentially leading to liver failure. Even small quantities of Xylitol can lead to problems with kidney failure and in extreme cases, death.

Onions, garlic and chives:

Onions, garlic and chives can be  toxic to Doodles. They cause gastrointestinal problems and impact red blood cell counts in canines negatively. A large quantity of food containing onions and garlic can cause hemolytic anemia. Symptoms of anemia include weakness, vomiting, dullness, and breathlessness.

Tea, coffee and caffeine:

Caffeine in large quantities can be dangerous to Doodles. The methylxanthines in caffeine can result in vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, increased thirst and urination in a Doodle. Seek veterinary assistance immediately if your Doodle has consumed coffee grounds.

Candy:

Sugar-free candy is dangerous because of Xylitol which, as mentioned above, is toxic for Doodles. Ingestion of Xylitol does not threaten human health but can trigger life-threatening hypoglycemia in Doodles. Xylitol is not in most sugar-free candies so this section does not seem very relevant.

 

Alcohol: 

Sugar-free candy is dangerous because of Xylitol which, as mentioned above, is toxic for Doodles. Ingestion of Xylitol does not threaten human health but can trigger life-threatening hypoglycemia in Doodles. Xylitol is not in most sugar-free candies so this section does not seem very relevant.

 

Macadamia nuts:

Macadamia nuts can be fatal for your Doodles. Just a few macadamia nuts can cause weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of coordination, high fever and paralysis. Even as few as six raw or roasted macadamias can make your Doodle ill. If you find that your pet has eaten macadamia nuts, seek veterinary service immediately.
