Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What food contains theobromine, which can induce vomiting and cause seizures in dogs?

Answer: Chocolate

As always, the amount will depend on the dog's size and type. Generally, 100-150 milligrams per kilogram is lethal. Rich chocolates (such as baker's and semisweet) is more deadly than milk chocolate. Caffeine also contains theobromine. This is among the most commonly-discussed warnings to dog owners.

2. Dogs are much more susceptible to alcohol poisoning than humans.

Answer: True

Dogs have a smaller body mass and absorb alcohol quicker.

3. What contains thiosulphate, which can cause gastrointestinal problems, jaundice, and diarrhea?

Answer: Onions

Onions and garlic should be approached with caution. Many dog foods contain garlic powder as a natural way to prevent fleas. Dogs do not have the enzyme to properly digest thiosulphates. Celebrity chef Rachel Ray caused some controversy when one of her supposedly pet-friendly recipes contained onions. As always, check with your vet to determine what foods are okay.

4. What is not a symptom of macadamia consumption?

Answer: hypothermia

Macadamia nuts contain a substance not yet identified that can cause swollen limbs, paralysis, elevated body temperature, and tremor of skeletal muscles.

5. What is one symptom of feeding a dog grapes and raisins?

Answer: Anuria

Raisins can also cause kidney failure. As with macadamia nuts, the chemical that causes ailments is not known. The issue became part of an internet urban legend in 2004 and one of the few deemed valid.

6. What fruit contains persin?

Answer: Avocado

Persin (atomic mass 380.5613, also known by the IUPAC name of [(12E,15E)-2-hydroxy-4-oxohenicosa-12,15-dienyl] acetate) is a fungicidal toxin. Persin can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and heart congestion.

7. What is not a symptom of xylitol consumption?

Answer: Heart failure

Xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in chewing gum and toothpaste.

8. Dogs should not eat bread at all.

Answer: False

Small amounts of cooked bread is okay. Uncooked dough still has yeast that can continue to rise, which can lead to stomach ruptures and painful bloating.

9. It's well-known that raw and undercooked meat are dangerous to humans, but even dogs can get sick from it.

Answer: True

Raw meat diets are a common source of debate. Dogs can also get sick from E. Coli and salmonella. Avidin, found in eggs, can cause skin and coat problems.

10. Dogs like to chew on bones, but what material is least likely to cause any serious health problems?

Answer: Marrow

Rawhide and pig ears will cause intestinal problems. Regular chicken bones can splinter. Marrow does not splinter and nylon, if in a doggie chew toy, wears down slowly and safely
