If your Golden Retriever eats a food you are unsure is safe or not then give your vet a call to find out. There are quite a few plants, fruits, and vegetables that can be harmful. For instance, raw potatoes are not recommended for our canine friends. Potatoes, tomatoes, and other plants that are members of the Solanum species are part of the nightshade family of plants, which contains dangerous toxins that can be harmful to pets. While some of a raw potato may not harm your Golden, it’s important to make sure he does not eat any of the leaf or plant parts as this does contain toxic alkaloids. If these toxins are eaten in large quantities your Golden may start to show signs of excessive drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, confusion, weakness, behavior changes, dilated pupils, or even a slowed heart rate. Call your veterinary clinic Montgomery, TX right away if your Golden has these symptoms. Click here to know more.
