What foods should you never give a dog?

[Sheila]

I'm sure most of those things are when fed in large quantities...surely a little doesn't hurt.

Some of them don't make sense......there is a garlic tablet specially for dogs to prevent them getting fleas

Our old dog had a lot from that list and she lived to 15

[MrsMac]

I would think it would have to be large quantities, I remember someone on here saying one of their dogs had eaten some grapes and the dog was ok.

 I just googled it and found this site.


Looks like we'll all have to be careful with our marijuana ladies

Barney'll be devastated about the lack of marijuana from now on   

[MrsMac]

Hadn't thought of string as a food before    but I know where they're coming from.

Plus had to laugh at 'Table scraps are not nutritionally balanced', depends on what you're eating doesn't it  

Oh and I wouldn't even give the kids my marijuana so Melody's got no hope    (flippin heck I'm daft enough without any of that stuff, my only vice is coffee and poor Melly doesn't get that either  )

Think our dogs should each be given a copy of this list. It says no mouldy or spoiled food - that's a major part of the Bud's diet when you add in all the cat-kill he gets hold of around here! I doubt it's very fresh anyway!

[Petra]

OOoh, no cat food!!!   Dillon always manages to scoff a few mouthfuls of catfood no matter how hard I try to keep it away from him...
When he starts purring I know I am in trouble 

[MrsMac]

Don't speak to me about cat food, I think Melody thinks she's a cat - she always checks Mostyns bowl for food    I have to feed the cat in another room since we got Melly, if she gets there first Mostyn goes hungry.

Thanks for this as i wasnt aware of many of these 

[Helen]

i was told raw salmon is the problem...other raw fish is ok??

poor old jarv - he's going to miss his sushi and sashimi - i haven't even told him he has to give up his 20 fags a day habit, his espresso's, his 5 double whiskeys at night and his choccy bars stuffed with raisens...he is a teenager - should i worry about his marijuana habit

but seriously it's definitely an 'in large quantities' list....

[MrsMac]

 

Oh but what about  is that harmful *?*   

[Penel]

Garlic is fine, raw fish is fine, apple cores are fine, cooked potatoes are fine  - stop worrying - you all worry far too much !!!

[MrsMac]

You're right Penel, these things can get out of hand.  Personally I stopped worrying about what foods are harmful when I caught my daughter (age 1 at the time) sitting in the garden holding a worm in one hand and a lump of coal in the other having quite obviously attempted to eat both <insert pukey smiley>

She's still with us 7 years later, no harm done    She still likes worms but she no longer eats them

A quote from my son aged 16 when I tell him not to feed the dog bad stuff

"Mum, he eats shit and rotting corpses, I am sure an apple pip won't hurt"!
