No Go Foods?

[patton_jr]

I know that Chocolate is a NO GO for dogs.
Are there other foods that should never be given to a dog?

*My wife always comes up with the questions I don't have answers for, or haven't thought about*:D:D

[Sansano]

Onions also.

[Carina43]

Macadamia nuts.
Cooked bones, and too much cooked animal fat at any one time (can trigger pancreatitis.)
Possibly grapes, that's controversial though. Mine get grapes very occasionally.

I have heard rubarb as well, can't remember why...Something about the oxylates in it or something.

[Silver]

Popcorn, maybe in a smaller quantity would be ok, but it gave mine diarrhea.

Here is a great link to a website that moght help answer your questions. It also explains in detail why chocolate isn't good.

We have on occasion been guilty of giving Payton a chocolate chip cookie here and there:D He gives me that "Just one cookie Mommy Pleeeeaaaaaazzzzz" look and I crumble.

Hope this helps:D

I thought i heard something about tomatoes and eggplant at one point but i don't know if that was in larger quantities or what....maybe someone can refresh my memory

[joquendo]

I give my dogs tomatoes... do you know the reason why?

One couple in my obed class was giving sno-caps as treats to their picky eater. I told them it was my understanding that that was a huge no-no but they said since it was so small and their dog (a one hundred pounder) is so big it didn't matter. I shared the info I had, what they do with it is their business.

Snowcaps, as in the chocolate candy with the white dots on it? If so, what a couple of boneheads. Heck, why don't they just allow the dog to wash donwn the snowcaps with a cool, refreshing bowl of antifreeze???

You would have to see these people to believe them...The stories I could tell and it has only been a month.

Roflmao. I know it probably wasn't supposed to be funny but for some reason this just tickled the hell outta me. :D

Back to the tomatoes....I can't remember where i heard that. I add a couple tomatoes into my veggie glop for the juice when i'm running it through the food processer. I wonder if they really are toxic????? Or maybe its just in excess. Just about anything in excess can be toxic though. I'm really wondering now...

[Teena]

I think it's in excess, like the members of the cabbage family or spinach.
I put tomatoes and green peppers in the veggie meals off and on with no problems.

I just looked back at the web site that I posted and it says tomato vines are poison. Our obedience instructor told us that the seeds from the tomato can be toxic is high amounts too. Payton gets tomatoes in his glop too. I take the seeds out before I blend it.
