“…Signs may arise within hours of ingestion. The mechanism of toxicity is unknown, but may involve resins, essential oils, tannins and nitrogenous compounds, or their metabolites, thought to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation resulting in malignant hyperthermia (Gwaltney‐Brant ).…”

Re-Fur-All Referrals, Newbury, Berkshire, UK 1 Corresponding author email: mark@markcraig.co.uk Food intolerance refers to any abnormal physiological response to a food or food additive believed not to be immunological in nature. Mechanisms include food toxicity, pharmacological reactions, metabolic reactions, dysmotility, dysbiosis, physical effects and non-specific dietary sensitivity. Food intolerance reactions are variable, typically dose-dependent, and can occur at any age. Signs may arise at any time, sometimes several hours or days after consumption of the offending food item, and can last for hours or days. Dietary indiscretion and non-immunological food intolerance are probably more common in dogs than true dietary hypersensitivity. Hopefully, with a greater knowledge of the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved, we will become better at recognising, preventing and managing adverse food reactions.

“…As home brewing becomes increasingly popular, companion animals may be at risk of exposure. The ingestion of both fresh and spent hops has been associated with the development of malignant hyperthermia in dogs ( 41 ). Any breed of dog may be affected, but breeds predisposed to malignant hyperthermia (e.g., Greyhounds, Labrador Retrievers, Saint Bernards, Pointers, Dobermans, Border Collies, English Springer Spaniels, and northern breeds) appear to be particularly susceptible ( 42 ).…”

“…Cooling measures, such as ice baths and cold IV fluids, should be used to lower the high body temperature. If available, dantrolene sodium, a skeletal muscle relaxant that has been used in humans to reverse malignant hyperthermia, may be administered ( 6 , 41 , 42 ).…”

Several foods that are perfectly suitable for human consumption can be toxic to dogs and cats. Food-associated poisoning cases involving the accidental ingestion of chocolate and chocolate-based products, Allium spp. (onion, garlic, leek, and chives), macadamia nuts, Vitis vinifera fruits (grapes, raisins, sultanas, and currants), products sweetened with xylitol, alcoholic beverages, and unbaked bread dough have been reported worldwide in the last decade. The poisoning episodes are generally due to lack of public knowledge of the serious health threat to dogs and cats that can be posed by these products. The present review aims to outline the current knowledge of common food items frequently involved in the poisoning of small animals, particularly dogs, and provides an overview of poisoning episodes reported in the literature.

“…Es relevante indagar sobre la evolución de los signos clínicos y si el propietario le realizó algún tratamiento previo a la consulta. Se debe enfatizar en que el propietario conserve el envase o la etiqueta del producto, ya que allí es posible encontrar la composición química y las recomendaciones para seguir frente a una exposición, así como teléfonos de contacto de los centros de atención y asesoramiento para el manejo del problema (Coppock et al, 1988;Gwaltney-Brant, 2013;Kore y Kiesche-Nesselrodt, 1990).…”
