Should You Leave Your Dog In The Dark?

Gherkins, or sweet pickles, are a favorite staple in many kitchens. Did you know they can be a healthy treat? This is because they’re low in fat and calories, and contain Vitamin A, folate, calcium and iron. Some people enjoy pickles sliced and added to their sandwiches and hamburgers, while others prefer to eat them plain.

Can my dog eat gherkins? Yes, but with some caution. Be sure to only serve him the sweet variety, and only those that have been prepared using no spices, onions, etc. Some of these ingredients are toxic to dogs and could your pup very sick. Not only that, but gherkins are usually produced with large amounts of sodium, which both dogs and their humans need to avoid. So, it’s recommended that you only serve these to your dog occasionally and only in small amounts. Can my puppy eat gherkins? Yes, but again, only once in a while and in small servings. What if my dog or puppy ate a large amount of gherkins? This could lead to vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. If your dog or puppy shows signs of severe digestive trouble, then be sure to call your vet as soon as possible.

Looks like most of the human foods that dogs eat are all to be served with some caution. I don’t really feed my dog what I eat but most times I just think she’ll enjoy it judging from the way she looks at it when it’s served. I’ll try to add some of our safe foods to her meals and hopefully she doesn’t react to it.

Yeah you have to be careful when serving her human foods. Try to avoid foods that are too sweet and those prepared using spices and onions. They are quite toxic and can make your dog sick.

Oh how come I never knew that gherkins are usually produced with large amounts of sodium? It is not all that healthy if you ask me. It’s best if I and my dogs just stay away from it entirely.

My dog loves sweet pickles, he eats them almost too much these days. I’ll make him go on sweet pickles fast soon. Lol

More people need to know that their dogs can also eat what they eat, only it has to be in moderation. Also animals can put themselves in danger by eating these things excessively, that’s why pet parents should never leave their pets alone or unattended especially with food.

In sandwiches and hamburgers? No thanks. I prefer to eat them plain. Same goes for my dog. Gherkins are amazing for dogs if they are not the type that select food and reject some that may not taste like what they are used to.

Lol. This sure reminds me of my dogs! The two of them eat like humans and that makes it quite hard for me to get them something new. They love what they are used to and will always be skeptical about new things. Sometimes I have to introduce a new food like four or more times in a row before they finally try to take a bite or two. I may have to do the same for the Gherkins because they sound like something my dogs will benefit greatly from. Since they naturally don’t eat much, I won’t have to worry about having them eat too much and developing digestive issues.

There are sweet varieties? How do I even know which is which? I do not want to feed something that is toxic to my dog. And I don’t buy things that are made using spices and onions, so I’m definitely going to take note of that when buying one etc.
