Giving in to those puppy eyes and handing your canine buddies a treat seem pretty harmless. That is, if the human treat you’re giving them is 100% safe and non-toxic. Here is a list of foods that you should never be fed to your canine buddies – no matter how cute they act up.
- Grapes and Raisins
Grapes and raisins can cause lack of appetite, weakness, abdominal pain, dehydration and even kidney failure if fed to your dogs.
- Xylitol
Xylitol is not only found in chewing gums but also in certain cookie brands. Xylitol is highly toxic leading to a drastic decrease in blood sugar in dogs which then leads to severe liver failure even at the smallest amount.
- Onions and Garlic
Dangerous Food for dogs
Onions and garlic cause a decrease in red blood cells in dogs when consumed at certain amounts. Of course they are good for human but definitely NOT for your dog!
- Macadamia Nuts and other nuts
Nuts generally cause vomiting in dogs. It can also lead to weakness, lethargy and depression.
- Coffee, Chocolate and Tea
These three often contain caffeine which can are highly toxic to dogs. These food items can cause vomiting and hyperactivity and can lead to heart arrhythmias and seizures in dogs.
- Cooked bones most especially from fish
Cooked bones are very much prone to breaking and can obstruct or lacerate your dog’s digestive system.
- Food items and beverages with alcohol content
Alcohol can cause intoxication, coma and even death in dogs. You should always check food items for alcohol content before feeding them to your dogs.

About two years ago Anne and I lost our two dogs, Alley (Rottweiler) and Sarah (Doberman Pincher) to what turned out to be from toxins in their pet beds. We originally thought that it was their foo or water. We tested everything in the house, air,walls, carpet etc. When we tested their beds we found toxins. We purchased the beds from a local pet chain just like most people do. After that we did a lot of research on the subject. We posted an article on the subject after our research. We were devastated when we lost our dogs, they were only 4 years old. We don’t want this to happen to anyone else. Please read The Dangers of Cheap Dog Beds. Best to all.
