Things to Never EVER Feed Your Dog...
We're always giving you the lowdown on what we think you should chew and what we think you should avoid. Well, we decided to change it up a bit and give you some super-helpful info about foods your DOG should never swallow... not because they're fattening, but because they can be DANGEROUS.
1. Grapes and Raisins. Contain a toxin that can cause kidney damage.
2. Bread Dough and Yeast. Can expand in the digestive system and cause severe damage.
3. Chewing Gum. Sugar-free gum sweetened with xylitol can be deadly. (Same goes for any food containing xylitol.)
4. Macadamia Nuts. Can upset the digestive and nervous systems.
5. Chocolate. Contains caffeine and theobromine, which affect the heart and nervous system and can be toxic.
6. Onions and Onion Powder. Contain sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. (P.S. Keep garlic out of reach for the same reason.)
