Reasons why eating “carne asada” can be harmful to dogs:
- High fat content: Carne asada is a fatty cut of meat, which can lead to pancreatitis in dogs.
- Spices: Carne asada is often seasoned with spices, such as onions and garlic, which are toxic to dogs.
- Bones: Carne asada may contain bones, which can splinter and cause internal injuries.
- Spoilage: If the carne asada was not refrigerated properly, it may contain bacteria that can make your dog sick.
Treatment:
If your dog ate a small amount of carne asada and is not showing any signs of illness, you may not need to take any action. However, if your dog ate a large amount or is showing any signs of illness, your veterinarian may recommend:
- Inducing vomiting
- Giving your dog activated charcoal to absorb the toxins
- Administering fluids to prevent dehydration
- Monitoring your dog’s bloodwork and electrolytes
- Hospitalization for more intensive treatment
Prevention:
- Keep carne asada and other human foods out of reach of your dog.
- Do not feed your dog table scraps.
- If you are unsure whether a food is safe for your dog, consult with your veterinarian.
