Food No No's?

[*Theresa*]

Have just discivered this morning about not feeding my two grapes or raisins which I was inadvertantly doing    I also know about gravy and chocolate but is there anything else I should be avoiding?

Also are there any food that is particularily good for them?

Corn on the cob.... which I didn't know about until it was mentioned on here.

(Great idea for a thread too)

I also know about gravy...

Gravy?  I didn't know about that - I sometimes put some on his kibble.   

I knew about grapes, raisins and chocolate. 

Since having Charlie, I've discovered that onions and garlic are toxic to dogs, as are potato peelings.

Also, I believe Macadamia nuts are - but as our Tesco seem to have stopped doing them (they were my fave!), that temptation won't be in our house!

I may be wrong but i think the problem with gravy is the salt content.

As far as i'm aware garlic is fine and kills fleas too....

According to a site I've just looked at, it's also due to there being onion powder in some packet gravies. 

Thanks for the info about garlic - I thought onions and garlic were from the same plant family, but it appears they aren't.

The site I looked at also said mushrooms are toxic for dogs, and raw eggs.  I've never given Charlie mushrooms, but I sometimes mix a raw egg into his food - I feel bad now. 

The site says Marijuana may be harmful.  Well durr!

Cheers Cathy, that was my pre COL days and I am abviously useless with this whole search thing. That is exactly what I needed.

 I don't think garlic or raw eggs are on the 'bad' list ? sure someone will correct me if  I'm wrong

[Cathy]

Thats ok, I had a bit of trouble finding it, its not that easy to find stuff, unless your pretty sure its there.

It is useful to know, and with loads of new members, can only help more people to re-question it !!


I was shocked when i read it.

[cazza]

I've just read it and I'm  in shame  My two are constantly after the potatoes out of the fields arond us  i do try and not let them get them but will now be trying harder 

as for garlic, i put that in my liver cake (one place says it's not good and another says to give them garlic,  confusing or what )

I was a little suprised to find cigarretes and cigars on there. Don't know how Glen will take it when i tell him he can no longar have his after dinner brandy and cigar.
