What can't I give to my dog!!

So, I decided to do this article both in English as in Dutch so I can copy/paste this to my friends who don't understand English.

With this article I want to set some things straight as to what a dog can & can't eat, because I see a lot of misconception about this topic.

CHOCOLATE!!  This is a big NO NO!! Accept for the white variant (because this doesn't contain any cacao). Chocolate can cause: diaria, vomiting, tremor & fatale heartfailure.

Chocolade: zeker en vast NIET!! Buiten de witte variant (omdat deze geen cacao bevat). Chocolade kan diarree, overgeven, tremor & fataal hartfalen te weeg brengen!


CHEESE & MILK: It's not a no, but you have to be carefull with it. Some dogs are lactose-intolorant. So small amounts aren't bad but don't over-do it!


Kaas & melk: het kan zeker geen kwaad, maar het moet toch met maten worden gegeven. Sommige honden zijn allergisch voor lactose & kunnen hier wel op reageren.



MACADAMIA NUTS & WALNUTS: these are also an absolute NO NO!! It can cause listlessness and even paralazys.
Other nuts are ok, but contain a lot of salt & fat, so don't over-do it if you want a fit dog.


Macadamia noten & walnoten: deze zijn ook weer een grote NEE!! Ze kunnen futloosheid maar zelfs verlamming te weeg brengen. Dus hou je hond hier ver vandaan. Andere noten zijn oké om te geven, maar bevatten veel zout & vetten. Dus zeker niet te veel geven als je een fitte hond wil.




GRAPES & RAISINS: can cause renal failure & anuria. So again a NO!




Druiven & rozijnen: kunnen nierinsufisientie te weeg brengen & anuria.




LIVER: a big YES! Just don't over-do it. Because overdosage will leat to a vit-A poisoning!




Lever: een zekere JA! Maar ook weer zeker niet overdrijven. Een overdosage leidt tot een vitamine-A vergiftiging!








ONION: you can use a little of onion. But too much causes animia or damage of red bloodcels.




Ajuin: een beetje kan geen kwaad. Maar te veel veroorzaakt bloedarmoede of beschadiging van de rode bloedcellen.






SALT & SUGAR: 
Don't give your dog salt! I can't stress this enough. We put salt in our food for the taste. But your dog has less tastebuts & taste more through their sent. I can cause liverfailure or natriumpoisoning!
Sugar: weird but true, dogs don't even love sugar. It's bad for their teeth & can lower their sugar dangerously!!


Zout & suiker:
Geef je hond geen zout! Ik kan dit niet genoeg zeggen. Wij doen zout in ons eten voor de smaak, maar je viervoeter heeft vele minder smaakpapillen & proeft voornamelijk door zijn reukzin. Het kan leverfalen te weeg brengen of een natriumvergiftigin!
Suiker: raar maar waar, maar je hond lust niet eens graag suiker. Het is slecht voor hun tanden & kan hun suikerspiegel gevaarlijk laten dalen!


 MUSHROOMS: can be fatal if some species are eaten. More specifically the Amanita species. Symphtoms are: drooling, liver damage, diaria, coma, kidney damage, convulsions & sometimes even death!




Paddestoelen: sommige paddestoelsoorten kunnen giftig of zelfs dodelijk zijn voor je hond. De voornaamste soorten zijn de zwammen.
Deze kunnen leiden tot: kwijlen, leverschade, diarree, coma, nierfalen, convulsies & soms zelfs tot de dood.

SoyJoy-testing

So I was picked out by the Insiders (after subscribing) to test out a product called SoyJoy before it comes out on the market.


SoyJoy is a snackbar made out of soja & 34% fruit.
It comes in 7 flavours (Banana, Apple, prum, goji, strawberry, orange & blueberry).



I have to say I was a little sceptic about it, but willing to try.

But, I LOVE it! It has the right consistentie & is full of flavour. I kinda tastes like a 'granny'-biscuit for those that know it. But is ticker in consistentie, not as crumbly.

2 thumbs up!!

NOTD: Gosh Yellow Bombay

I went to Kruidvat during my lunchbreak with my college & friend Sara.
I bought 6 nailpolishes, 3 from Catrice & 3 from Gosh.

This is one of the 3 Gosh polishes, called Yellow Bombay.



I love the colour, it's so in right now, but you have to put on at least 3 coats to get good enough coverage :(

NOTD: metallic blue GOSH

Today I went out and bought myself a new nailpolish from GOSH (in the colour metallic blue)

I know 7€ seems a lot of money for nailpolish, but it's AMAZING!!
The colour is gorgeous. And you only need to apply one thin coat.




How many Gosh nailpolishes do you have??
