  Unusual symptoms to watch out for

  Learning to interpret the danger signs, and knowing what action to take, can help you decide the best course of action in the event your dog does start feeling under the weather.

  Harmful substances and foods

  There are many food and non-food substances, including plants, which can be potentially poisonous for your dog. Some of these will be obvious to most owners but others will not. For example, some foods and medicines can be eaten or taken by humans with no ill effects but can be very toxic and in some cases life threatening for dogs.
