What Foods Are Harmful to Dogs?

When it comes to feeding our dogs we only want what is best. Unfortunately, our spoiling of our furry friends can lead to some serious consequences. While not all human foods are toxic or even harmful to dogs it should be noted that in an ideal situation you would only feed them dog food and dog treats.

For those of you who own dogs at home it can be confusing as to what is and isn't ok for your dog to eat. What may seem healthy to us or be good for us isn't always the same for our pets. A good example of this is Avocado, while it is seen as a super food to humans it is quite toxic to dogs.

In order to clarify and help save your pets life I have compiled a list of foods that are toxic or harmful to them. As with all things even if a food isn't on this list it should only be given in moderation and after careful research if at all.

*Alcohol

*Avocados

*Caffeine

*Chocolate

*Dairy Products

*Garlic

*Grapes/Raisins

*Nuts

*Onions

*Raw Eggs

*Salt

*Sugar

*Xylitol

*Yeast Dough

*Medications
