Foods That Can Kill Your Dog

ASPCA.org is a great site, and a wonderful organization. For those of you that don't know what ASPCA stands for, it's The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. 

So on this great site they have a list of things that are dangerous for your dog to ingest. I recall telling people "don't give your dog chocolate" or "don't give our dog nuts" and people are always shocked, as if they have never heard of such a thing before. 

Well ladies and gentlemen, here is a short list of things you should not feed your pet. There is also a site called treshanely.com that goes a little more in depth into what some of these foods can do to your pet.

Dangerous foods for your pet are:

• Avocado
  
• Chocolate
  
• Onions
  
• Raisins and Grapes
  
• Garlic
  
• Yeast dough
  
• Coffee
  
• Alcoholic Beverages
  
• Macadamia Nuts
  
• Tomatoes
  
• Bones
  

Again, check out the websites for more information, this is extremely important. I never give Achilles anything that can potentially harm him. I am glad this list is available because surprisingly, not many people know what is good or bad for their dog.

Oh, and yes, bones ARE dangerous for your dog despite what we've all seen on TV. Bones do not dissolve and they can get stuck in your dogs throat. The only way you'll be able to get those bones out is by putting your dog through surgery, and you wouldn't want that!
