Nowadays, people’s living standards have greatly improved. In addition to work and life, many choose to raise small pets, which adds a lot of joy to life. If there are elderly or children at home, it can also enliven the family atmosphere and enhance the relationships among family members. The Papillon dog has two large ears that look like butterfly wings, hence the name Papillon dog. It looks very cute and beautiful and is loved by more and more people. The number of people choosing to raise Papillon dogs is also increasing. Since you have chosen to raise a pet, you must be responsible for it. There are some foods that dogs cannot eat, and extra caution is needed, otherwise, it will cause great harm to the dog’s health.

Illness enters through the mouth, so what is ingested must be paid close attention to, dogs included. Chocolate is one of the foods that Papillon dogs absolutely cannot eat because chocolate contains caffeine, which is poison to pets. If accidentally ingested, it can cause poisoning or even immediate death in severe cases. If a Papillon dog accidentally eats chocolate, it must be rushed to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Especially if there are children at home, extra care is needed because children love chocolate and sometimes simply want to share with the dog, but this kind of well-intentioned sharing can threaten the dog’s life.

Also, seafood products—although seafood contains nutrients very beneficial to humans, Papillon dogs cannot eat them. Sea fish and shrimp are harmful to a dog’s bone development and may lead to delayed development, incomplete growth, limb weakness, and other serious issues. Therefore, seafood products should be avoided when feeding Papillon dogs.

Furthermore, high-lactose dairy products like milk are not easy to digest. Papillon dogs have relatively fragile stomachs, and consuming dairy products often leads to diarrhea, affecting their health. Foods with strong stimulants such as onions or other overly spicy foods should be avoided as well, as they can easily cause anemia in Papillon dogs, which is very dangerous. It's best to buy dog food at a dedicated pet store to ensure the dog’s diet is safer and more reliable.
