Paws Off! The Dangerous Foods You Must Avoid for Your Pets

10. Coffee: Dogs and Cats

While many of us enjoy a good cup of coffee, think twice before sharing it with your pet. Coffee contains caffeine, which can be dangerous for dogs and cats. Although small quantities may not cause immediate harm, even minor amounts can raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, leading to panting, vomiting, and possibly seizures.

It's safest to keep coffee out of reach of pets. If they accidentally consume coffee or a caffeinated drink, be vigilant for any symptoms in the following hours and reach out to a pet poison hotline if any issues arise.
