Dogs will beg for whatever they see their owners eating or drinking—even if that human treat is poisonous to canines. Sometimes this applies to your morning cup of coffee. A daily dose of caffeine may be essential to your wellbeing, but the same can’t be said for your furry companion. If your dog ingests coffee—whether in the form of beans, liquid, or grounds—it’s important to take action quickly.
无论看到主人吃什么或喝什么，狗狗都渴望主人也给自己喂一点-哪怕主人正在吃的东西对犬类有毒。有时，在早晨喝咖啡的时候就会遇到这种情况。每天摄入一定的咖啡因是幸福开心的要素，但是对于毛茸茸的同伴而言却并非如此。如果狗狗吞下咖啡，无论是咖啡豆、液体咖啡还是咖啡粉，主人都需要迅速采取行动。
Canine：犬类
According to the American Kennel Club, the same stimulant that makes coffee so appealing to people can be disastrous for pets. Dogs are especially sensitive to caffeine, and in addition to getting a burst of energy, consuming coffee could raise their heart rate to dangerous levels. This is especially true for smaller dogs. Some symptoms of caffeine poisoning in dogs include panting, vomiting, restlessness, elevated body temperature, and abnormal heartbeats.
根据美国育犬协会的介绍，使咖啡对人类充满诱惑力的刺激物对于宠物而言可能是一场灾难。狗对咖啡因特别敏感。咖啡因除了会让狗爆发出能量以外，还会使狗狗的心率上升到危险的地步。这对于体形较小的狗而言尤其如此。狗狗咖啡因中毒的部分症状包括喘息、呕吐、烦躁不安、体温升高和心跳不规律。
Like some substances that are toxic to dogs, a minuscule amount of coffee won’t kill them. So if you catch Fido stealing a couple of laps from your mug, it’s best to monitor them for signs of illness instead of rushing them to the vet right away. The situation is more serious if your dog gets into coffee grounds or coffee beans, which have a higher concentration of caffeine than brewed coffee.
和一些对狗狗有毒的物质一样，微量摄入咖啡并不会致狗死亡。因此，如果你发现Fido在你的马克杯里舔了几口咖啡，那么最佳做法是观察它们并查看是否有生病的迹象，而不是立刻就跑去兽医处就医。但是，如果狗狗吞下的是咖啡粉或咖啡豆，那么情况就会严重得多。因为咖啡粉或咖啡豆内所含的咖啡因要比煮过的咖啡浓度更高。
Lap：舔舐、舔着喝
In severe cases, gorging on coffee can cause coma, seizures, or even death in a dog. When you catch your dog with the morning’s coffee grounds from the trash, you should contact your vet immediately or call the pet poison helpline before their condition worsens. If a doctor determines your animal is in danger, they can treat them by inducing vomiting or giving them fluids or activated charcoal to absorb the toxins.
在严重的情况下，大量吞食咖啡会导致狗狗昏迷、癫痫发作或甚至死亡。如果发现狗狗正在吞食垃圾桶里的咖啡渣，你应该在病情恶化之前，立刻联系兽医或拨打宠物中毒热线。如果医生认为您的宠物处于危急状态，他们会通过催吐或灌入液体或活性炭吸收毒物的方法来给予治疗。
Gorging：吃饱、塞足、注满
Seizure：癫痫发作
Coffee grounds：咖啡渣
Every dog owner wants to keep their pet safe, but harmful toxins are often hiding where you least expect them. Here are some common dangers to look out for the next time you walk your dog.
每一位狗主人都希望确保自己的狗狗安全，但是有害的毒物却往往藏在你认为最不可能出现的地方。
