People often ask what foods should their pet stay away from. Below is a solid list pulled from Moe’s FAQ section title About Meat.
Chocolate
Chocolate contains theobromine, a cardiac stimulant that can cause dogs to become hyperactive, thirsty, and suffer an irregular or increased heart rate.
Raisins and grapes
Though it’s fun to watch your dog catch grapes or raisins in their mouth, use popcorn instead. Both raisins and grapes can cause liver failure in dogs.
Onions
Raw, cooked, dried – it’s all bad. Onions contain thiosulphate, which causes red blood cells to explode.
Cobs of corn
Choking hazard that is worth mentioning.
Macadamia nuts
Macadamia nuts can cause tremor, weakness, and paralysis.
Fruit seeds
Pear seeds, apple seeds, peach, plum, apricot pits all contain trace amounts of cyanide. Rarely harmful, but important enough to be aware of.
Caffeine
Caffeine can cause hyperactivity, tremors, or seizures. That means no soda, coffee or non-herbal tea.
Alcohol, Tobacco and street drugs
That’s just not cool.
Yeast dough/bread dough
Dough continues to rise in your pet’s stomach and can make them uncomfortable.
