Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Small chunks of baked goodies can be a great treat on occasion, but NO, Ella, this one is absolutely not for you, because it can give you acute kidney failure.

Answer: Raisin bagel

Raisins and grapes cause lethal reactions in dogs of all sizes. While the exact cause is still unknown, symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and most shocking of all, it causes rapid renal failure.

Answer: Avocado

Avocados contain persin in all parts of the fruit and plant. Persin is harmless to humans but is fatal to dogs. Classic symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and heart failure.

3. Fruits aid in digestion, provide antioxidants, and give you healthy skin and hair. But NO, Ella, this one is absolutely not for you, because it can give you life-threatening seizures.

Answer: Plum

The problem is not the fruit, but the pits. Pits from plums can cause obstruction if swallowed. Plum pits also contain cyanide which is highly poisonous. Cyanide poisoning include dilated pupils, dizziness, excessive salivation and seizures.

Answer: Chicken bones

Chicken bones are brittle and can easily splinter. Dogs can easily choke on bone fragments, and splinters can lodge themselves in the mouth, throat, or internal organs such as stomach and intestines.

Answer: Macadamia nuts

Affected dogs are often distressed and showed weaknesses in their skeletal muscles. Symptoms include a staggering gait, tremors and elevated body temperature. It is also said the the high phosphorous content may lead to bladder stones as well.

6. What dog would refuse the taste and aroma of meat? But NO, Ella, this one is absolutely not for you, because it will make you obese and may lead to pancreatitis and heart failure.

Answer: Ham

It's not so much the pork, but the high fat and salt content in ham that will harm the dog. Salt poisoning can result in seizures, muscle tremors, coma and even death. Too much fat results in pancreatitis. Fatty and salty food can also cause a dog to drink a lot of water rapidly, resulting in bloat.

7. Those attractive yellow kernels are delicious and an excellent source of energy, but NO, Ella, this one is absolutely not for you, because it will obstruct your digestive tract.

Answer: Corn on the cob

The main issue here is that dogs will swallow large chunks of the cob. If the cob lodges in the digestive tract, it will cause a partial or complete intestinal blockage. Signs include straining during defecation, loss of appetite, and pain in the stomach. Usually surgical removal of the cob is required.

8. Sweet treats from my dessert selection? Tiny tidbits are ok for my little princess, but NO, Ella, this one is absolutely not for you, because it can cause internal bleeding and cardiac arrest.

Answer: Black Forest cake

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is similar to caffeine. Theobromine is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic. Dogs metabolize theobromine much slower than humans, which is why it builds up in their bodies. The darker the chocolate, the more theobromine it contains, and therefore more lethal to dogs.
Incidentally, other treats given in occasionally small portions are fine, just make sure they are not sweetened with xylitol, which is another life-threatening toxin to dogs.

9. Which little dog wouldn't lick up anything spilled on the table? But NO, Ella, this one is absolutely not for you, because it can cause bloating and alcohol poisoning.

Answer: Bread dough

Unbaked yeast dough expands in the moist, warm stomach and can result in a bloated or distended stomach. In addition, alcohol from the fermented yeast will make the dog intoxicated, resulting in seizures and respiratory failure. Wild mushrooms are toxic to dogs, but commercial grade mushrooms are safe.

10. Yes, creamy mixtures that tastes so good in the mouth, but NO, Ella, this one is absolutely not for you, because it will give you anemia.

Answer: Baby food

Baby foods itself isn't terrible, it just doesn't have the nutrients dogs need. However, most baby foods contain onion powder, which are lethal to dogs. Onions contain thiosulphate, which can cause hemolytic anemia, a condition that damages the red blood cells.
