Last night at dinner, my boyfriend's dog Gabby (a 3 year old black lab- you'll meet her later :) was begging at the table, as she usually does, and of course we all gave in to her adorable face and gave her some small bites of pizza. Later his mom informs us that she seemed to be acting funny and we all wondered if it was from the food she ate. This got me thinking about what foods are okay to give our dogs and what aren't. It's so tempting to give in to your pretty pooch and just give them a little treat because they just want it soooo bad- but at what cost? When is it safe to share some of your dinner with them and when is it not?
There are common knowledge items such as alcohol, marijuana, and chocolate. But what else should a dog owner be worried about?
Here is a list I found from Peteducation.com
Anyone else know of foods that should be black listed for animals??? I really don't want to accidentally feed something to a dog and make them sick :/

I heard that if a doggie so much as tastes a stick of sugar-free gum, it could be fatal. Watch out for that one!
ReplyDeleteI like how "string" is on the list.
ReplyDeleteThat list looks like it covers all of the bad ones that I know of.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you have to be careful of small chicken bones as well.
Grapes and dark chocolate.
