Things to not feed your dog

Here's a handy dandy list of things you shouldn't feed your pets, from a local shelter. Some of them were surprising to me, so I thought I would share it with you all.

*Alcoholic beverages

*Avocado

*Chocolate (all forms)

*Coffee (all forms)

*Fatty Foods

*Macadamia nuts

*Moldy or spoiled foods

*Onions, onion powder

*Raisins and grapes

*Salt

*Yeast dough

*Garlic

*Products sweetened with xylitol

Interesting post - do you know the reasoning behind the onions and macadamias? Never heard of those before. I know you're not supposed to feed birds (hook bills -large parrots) avocado, but it's the pit that's poisonous mainly, wonder if the same for dogs?
I don't know the reasons behind those, no.
That's interesting about the birds, I wonder if it's for the same reasons?

Home beer brewers... hops are also on the list.
Well, that explains everything!
Add black walnut shells to that list.
Make sure your dog doesn't get into black walnut shells of any kind.
They are toxic to dogs & horses.
Also berries and the killer is seeded grapes. A friend of mine nearly lost her lab last week after the lab stole a load of grapes. Cheers Debs
Deb,
What kind of berries?
Blackberries and raspberries can give them runny bottoms, not poison as such but berries with seeds seem to upset doggy tummies.

I once had a dog who ate the berries from Deadly Nightshade plants. That was a very anxious and expensive trip to the vets!

Cheers

Garlic? They sell garlic treats and pastes for dogs? Bloo loves it. Garlic is supposed to be good for them. ;/

Also you shouldnt give animals nuts, well chipmonks and hamsters yes, but not dogs n cats :P
Interesting post. Oh and some flowers eg lillies are poisonous.
I've heard Onions and Grapes are worse than Chocolate. I know Grapes are supposed to be the absolute worst but then again, i dont know much of anything when it comes to this stuff. We just dont feed him human food hahah
Rob, that's a great rule to live by.
