Spices contain Toxic Compounds

Are you interested in finding out more about spices and their toxic effects on dogs? This blog will give you a brief overview of all compounds.

Capsaicin

Capsaicin, the active ingredient in chili peppers, makes them hot and gives you that burning sensation. Capsaicin is difficult to digest for dogs and can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, or gastrointestinal distress. Capsaicin is found in large quantities in peppers. However, it can also be found in small amounts in spices such as cinnamon that are safe for dogs if used in moderation.




Disulfides

Disulfides, found in the allium family, break down red blood cells and can lead to life-threatening anemia.

Estragole

Estragole is used in small quantities to flavor pet food. It can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal problems if it is consumed in large amounts.

Eugenol

Eugenol, a fragrance liquid made from essential oils, is known for its fragrant properties. Researchers discovered that high doses of eugenol can cause severe vomiting and motor function loss in the limbs.

Furanocoumarin

Many plants use furanocoumarin compounds to repel pests and insects. They are toxic to dogs, and sometimes humans. Furanocoumarin poisoning can lead to cellular damage and inflammation in dogs. It can also cause blindness and severe skin and eye conditions.

Isothiocyanate

Isothiocyanates, another defense system for plants, can cause gastrointestinal irritation in dogs and possibly induce toxicosis.

Linalool

Linalool, a natural essential oil that is found in citrusy plants and fragrant flowers, acts as an insecticide. Although linalool can be applied topically to dogs in small quantities, it can cause severe irritation. Linalool can cause liver damage and even liver failure if ingested.

Myristicin

Myristicin, which is a natural insecticide, can also cause disorientation, hallucinations and gastrointestinal distress in dogs when consumed in large amounts.

Tannic Acid

Tannic acid, an anti-fungal anti-bacterial compound, is astringent. Tannic acid can cause nausea, vomiting, and even renal failure in large amounts.

Theobromine

Theobromine, a bitter alkaloid, is extremely toxic for dogs. The symptoms of theobromine poisoning can include over-excitation and vomiting, serious seizures, heart problems, and even death.

Thiosulfates

Thiosulfates are used by plants to aid in the nutrient absorption process. They can also cause anemia in dogs.

Our guide to dogs eating peppers explains more about capsaicin as well as the foods that it can cause.
