Bad Food #4: Candy

Candy is enjoyed by children worldwide and rather a lot of adults for that matter. Why not? After all, its delicious sweetness is a joy to the palate. Your dog is also likely to enjoy eating candies, but its one treat that you should really keep to yourself.

Candies contain a compound known as xylitol. It is a fairly common ingredient that is generally used as a sweetener. Unfortunately, this compound is harmful to dogs as it can cause a drop in blood sugar levels and even lead to liver failure. If you do want to treat your dog to some candies, you should check first to see whether or not they contain xylitol.
