WARNING!!!

 Through  many years of dog ownership I've learned what is good and bad for my  canine companions. Some of the most surprising discoveries come in the  form of people food. We all know not to feed table scraps, but did you  know that some fairly common people food could be dangerous and  potentially lethal to your dog.  It's become evident that a large number  of people are unaware of these foods so I've compiled a list in hopes  of educating fellow dog owners.

Xylitol is perfectly safe for people, but because of different metabolisms, it  can be fatal for dogs and cats. A simple piece of cupcake or cookie  could kill an animal if the danger is unknown and not addressed  immediately.

CHOCOLATE: Best to remember dark  chocolate, especially baker's chocolate, is the worst when it comes to  this type of poisoning. Chocolate contains a substance called  Theobromine (similar to caffeine), which in toxic doses can cause heart  attacks. As little as 2 oz baker's chocolate can be fatal for a small  dog. If you suspect your dog has gotten into chocolate call your vet  immediately.

GRAPES/RAISINS: Surprisingly, this  is a toxic fruit for dogs. They contain an unknown toxin, which can  cause acute renal (kidney) failure. As little as a handful at a time can  be deadly.

ONIONS: A substance in onions,  disulfide, is harmless to humans but toxic to not only dogs but cats,  horses, sheep and cattle. It causes hemolytic anemia, and as little as 2  slices a week can damage red blood cells, impairing their ability to  carry oxygen.

LIVER: In small amounts liver is  very good for your dog (less than 3 servings a week). Large amounts  cause vitamin A toxicity (hypervitaminosis A). This can lead to bone  problems, weight loss and anorexia. Also, never feed liver if your dog  is taking vitamin A supplements, and always cook it before feeding.

BONES:  Sterilized bones that are purchased aren't the problem. Raw meaty bones  and chicken bones are prone to splinter and lodge in the throat, or  worse, the intestines, in which case they can perforate the lining  causing internal bleeding and possibly death. This doesn't mean no  bones, ask the butcher for soup bones, bring water to a full boil then  cook the bones for approximately 20 minutes (depending on size). NOTE:  The first time I did this I removed much, not all, of the fat and meat  from the outside of the bone. My dog's stomachs weren't used to such a  treat and I didn't want to cause diarrhea. However, I did save the  scraps and fed them on their food at a later date.

RAW EGGS: Cooked eggs are a very healthy treat for dogs, raw egg whites contain a  protein called Avidin. This protein depletes your dog of B vitamins,  specifically Biotin, which is essential to growth and coat condition.  Also, raw eggs may contain bacteria, such as Salmonella. 

RAW MEAT/POULTRY: Once again bacteria are the main problem, Salmonella and Clostridium,  both can be very serious and costly to treat. Just remember, if you feed  meat, cook it first. NOTE: Best to avoid pork, especially bacon (which  contains sodium nitrate).

NUTS: Walnuts can cause  gastroenteritis and are considered poisonous to dogs. Macadamia nuts  contain an unknown compound, which can cause muscle tremors, weakness  and paralysis of the hindquarters (luckily these symptoms last a short  time). In general, nuts are high in phosphorus and may contribute to the  formation of bladder stones. NOTE: Peanuts are a legume, from the earth, not grown on trees. They are not harmful when used in small amounts. 

POTATO: Cooked and mashed potatoes are good for dogs. However, poisonous  alkaloids (Solanum) are present in green sprouts and green potato skins.  NOTE: Poisonings occur in people as well as dogs! 

TOMATO PLANTS: Stems and leaves contain oxalates, which can cause bladder stones.  NOTE: The fruit itself is not the culprit, however high amounts of  vitamin C can cause gastrointestinal distress. 

RHUBARB: This plant (especially the leaves) also contains oxalates. 

TURKEY SKIN: Known to cause acute Pancreatitis in dogs. 

PIPS: Found in the seeds of apples, pears, plums, peaches and apricots, ALL CONTAIN ARSENIC! 

NUTMEG: Is a hallucinogen in dogs.

MUSHROOMS: In all honesty, any wild growing mushroom scares me, and if my dogs are  anywhere near some, I go the other way, you just don't know. Store  bought mushrooms are fine, but do you really want your dog to develop a  taste for them?
