What foods besides chocolate are dangerous to pets?

I know that grape and apple seeds are harmful, and of course, chocolate - but are there any other foods that are absolute taboo to dogs? Before you all freak out saying that dogs should only have high quality dog food, let me say, I already know that - but I want to make sure that my "baby" never gets into anything else that may be dangerous that I don't know about. And - occasionally, I do let her have something besides dog food. For instance, last night, my husband cooked a nice beef and rice dinner for me for V-day. We let our puppy have some of the cooked beef. She loved it.What foods besides chocolate are dangerous to pets?Try to stay away from greasy foods, but rice and hamburger (plain white rice) is awesome if she ever gets diarrhea.. stay away from onions, garlic, Macadamia nuts, raisins, grapes, coffee, tea, pop, candy, moldy or spoiled food, garbage, yeast dough, medications of course, and household plants just to name a few!! =) go to this website below and they will get into detail =) I hope this was helpful!!What foods besides chocolate are dangerous to pets?

Too much of anything with a lot of fat can cause pancreatitis in dogs. We learned this the hard way when our beagle mix raided the cat food. She ate about 3 pounds of it in one sitting while we were out. Needless to say, she started acting very sick so we took her in to the vet and she got to spend the entire weekend at the hospital with an IV. She ended up being ok (even lost the weight that we had been trying to get off her) but it was a very scary and expensive ordeal. Apparently cat food has a much higher fat content than dog food and we now keep it where there is no way for the dogs to snack on it.What foods besides chocolate are dangerous to pets?Coffee
Tomatoes are a member of the nightshade family and are highly acidic. My dog will lick a little spaghetti sauce off of a plate or spoon, but I don't let him eat chunks of tomatoes in the sauce. Also, I know it's not a food, but at Christmas, make sure that poinsettias are out of your dogs reach. The berries at the center of the flower are poisonous (the same is true of mistletoe). I put my poinsettias on a top shelf to avoid any nibbling when I'm not looking. Then, when the plant begins to droop and die, be sure that none of the berries or petals are consumed as they fall off the plant and on your floor.

Remember in feeding to think like a predator -- until 4000 years ago, your pet was wild and didn't eat things like chocolate or Coca-ColaWhat foods besides chocolate are dangerous to pets?
grapes, raisins, and onions are definite no nos. also obvious things like alcohol! cooked beef is perfectly fine, sounds like you already know to feed her good kibble and limit table food so she doesn't pack on the pounds. hope this helps.

Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

Here is a website, it may be a little over-the-top but here it is nonetheless.



I bet she did love the beef and lets face it they are dogs! For centuries they ate all kinds of unsavory things. Still will if given half a chance.



Give your puppy a hug!
chicken bones or pork bones also a non food item that is fatal is febreeze this makes them suffocate it say spet safe on the container yet is not i know this from experince good luck
Raisins and onions are said to cause problems. Sweet potatoes cause flattulence in our lab. Vets always disagree, but my opinion is that sharing a little table food is one of the best pleasures of owning a dog. We stick to the rule of very small quantities.



Conor ate asphault, aluminum foil, bottle caps and lots of other stuff when he was a puppy, and he survived. I would say watch for actual poisons, like rat poison, etc. around the neighborhood.
Fruit isn't harmful to pets unless it's a fish. Other candy is also harmful.
Anything with alcohol. A gin and tonic will do your furry friend no benefit.
The citric acid in grapes will kill them if given more than 2. But other fruit and veg should be ok
Most of the bad stuff looks like it's been mentioned except for Avocados....very, very bad for dogs.
here is a site that lists numerous foods toxic to dogs. they list plants too

aaww what a special treat for V-day, next time the rice wont hurt either.
Coffee, excessive milk and dairy products, pastas, vinager, some peppers, and some spices such as oregano. The occasional meat, rice, fruit and vegies are good for an animal; it aids in the vital nutrients that an animal needs and might not always get even in the best of foods for animals.



Hope this helps.
Onions, macedamia nuts, sugar free gum. There are more but there are the ones I know, hopefully someone can fill in the blanks :)
Here is a list for at:
