Golden retriever food like any other dog food must be well-balance. Your golden friend must be able to score enough protein to keep him going, but not too much because, excessive protein is not good for this breed. It has been strongly recommended that dog owners should prepare their pets food. Know: home cooked dog food is better that commercial dog food. Plus: preparing your golden retriever food will enable you to know for sure what your pet is eating and surprisingly, this method is cost-effective. But before you ransack your kitchen to prepare your golden retriever food, heres a list of food that you should avoid feeding your golden pet: 1. Alcohol - Come on! This stuff is bad for dogs as they are for humans. Pet lovers, beware that alcohol can cause not only intoxication but coma and death of your dog. 2. Chicken, fish, read meat- Go easy on these. Your golden retriever may accidentally swallow the bones which can cause obstruction and laceration of the digestive system. 3. Cat food- A dog is not a cat. Cat food if high in protein and fats and too much of both is not good for your dog. Thats why they are called cat food- they were made for cats-not dogs. 4. Chocolate, coffee, caffeine- This food contains caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. In other words, they are toxic and bad for your pets heart and nervous system. 5. Grapes, raisins; Vitamin with Iron- These fruits maybe a good source of antioxidants for human but they can damage your dogs kidney. Unless you want your dog to die of renal failure do not feed him these fruits. Human vitamins with iron have similar effects. So give this vitamin to humans and not your dog. 6. GarbageOne word: Toxin.

7. Onion, Onion powder, garlic- Easy on the spices! They contain sulfoxides and disulfides which causes anemia. You wouldnt want an anemic dog would you? 8. Raw eggs- They contain an enzyme called avidin which decreases the absorption of biotin. This can lean to skin and coat problems. 9. Raw Fish- Feeding your golden retriever raw fish can result to thiamin deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizure, and in certain cases- death. 10. Salt and sugar- Too much salt in your dog food can lead to electrolytes imbalances and sugary foods can lead to obesity, dental problems, and diabetes mellitus. There goes! Golden retriever food that is bad for your dog. Whats good/ home cooked dog food without any of the bad ingredients. A little meat without the bones, chicken without the bones, cooked fish fillet and vegetables. Start cooking!
