Foods Your Dogs Should Not Eat!

True, me too! I was told for decades that garlic was good to feed your dog. It was healthy for them and helped repel fleas! Wow. Better stop that now.
 
I would some time let Marty some some canned chicken soup with his food and that has onion in it. I was told at a farmer coop it was OK for dogs to have a little onion and garlic. The farmer coop had dogs treats with onion and garlic.
It get so confusing as you hear one thing for years then you are told something difference . I will be making Marty dog food after all! I brought him some Paul Newman canned dog food , it was on sale . Marty DID NOT like it!!
He stuck his nose up at it!! The little brat! I wish I knew what his first owner feed him. So I am trying find veggies that are safe for dog to eat. I know carrots and peas are Ok.
 
I once walked into my dad's neighbour's house, and smelled something delicious cooking on the stove. It was a big pot of what looked like chili and snuck a taste of it. The neighbour laughed and told me I just ate dog food :) She always made food for her dog.

From what I could tell, there were all kinds of veggies in that pot so Im guessing it's safe for dogs. Her dog lived to a ripe old age by the way.
 
Most veggies are fine. If your dog needs to lose weight, it's a good idea to chop up some cooked green beans and mix it in with the food. High-fiber and filling, and very low calories.

It's ok to give a dog a little bit of garlic, but not onions.

Some common household things to avoid are chocolate, as even a little bit can be toxic to a small dog, grapes, and raisins.
 
a little bit of garlic should be fine, but onions no. I tend to be very cautious of what I feed my dog. I know he LOVES chocolate (a few years ago, he managed to steal a couple of full sized chocolate bars off my computer desk..... surprising he never got sick but since then I have really put a lock on my chocolates!), but noooooooo chocolate for you buddy! I do feed him bits of plain chicken or some carrots or apples every now and then, but it's not often.

I have a really funny story! I had a neighbor that was very neat and she also kept her refrigerator neat , she would not put any cans in it. Her son can home from school and when into the refrigerator and took out a bowl of meat and made a sandwich for himself. He told his mom that " he really liked the meat she brought." And she said "what meat?" Her son said "the meat in the white bowl with blue flowers on it." His mom said " that was dog food!"
I will have to find a recipe that I can eat too! I hate to cook for myself and now I have to cook for my dog!!

I link I posted said those food are bad for dogs.
 
avoid also -

macadamia nuts,

stone fruit pits, corn cobs, rhubarb leaves, yard mushrooms, yeast dough and hops.

I routinely use garlic powder or VERY small amount of whole garlic in Summer particularly, WITH holistic vet supervision.

dark chocolate is more toxic than milk or "white"

my Lab loved, and current adult female Rottie both love vegtables; my girl especially likes greens and when I'm making salad she comes running in, hoping for some lettuce. When I first started doing raw I routinely made a veggie glop which consisted of various greens, berries, carrots, apples or pears and maybe some other veggie. The dogs really did like it. I don't find it necessary to make that anymore but if I happen to make some my adult Rott likes it. The younger female Rottie isn't as interested in greens or other veggies but she really did enjoy the watermelon "party" we had a while back.:lol:

be very cautious with german sheperd they're known to be very allergic-prone breed (from my experience) one time one ate one bit of onion and got sick with high fever for several days it was awful. Also be super careful handling human OTC medicine because some of them are toxic to dog (like tylenol, one pill will kill a dog under 70 pound)
 
My dogs both like bits of carrot. I use that for training treats sometimes. Change of pace from the usual, and it's good for them.
 
No chocolate or onions.

Both bad, especially the chocolate. I'm very cautious about that.

Chocolate is even more lethal to cats.
 
I used to put brewers yeast and garlic in all my dog's meals. So nice for the coat and no fleas.
