Things Your Dog Should NEVER Eat

Dogs are not the living garbage disposals our doggie bags have made them out to be. Their appetites have been wrongly accredited to consume any leftover we may be too satisfied to consume. In reality, not all foods were meant for your dog’s digestive system. Certain foods can pose significant danger to a canine's well being, -- let alone health. Read the following food and beverages your dog should avoid:

No cocktails, beer or alcoholic beverages – can trigger a coma, intoxication or sudden death

Baby food – certain baby foods have onion powder which is toxic to dog breeds.

Bones – Poultry, fish as well as other meat sources – may obstruct a dog’s digestive system or cause a laceration

Cannabis or marijuana – may depress the nervous system. An altered heart rate along with regurgitation will ensue.

Cat food -- is for felines not canines. Since cat food is usually high in both fat and protein, it's not intended for dogs.

Chocolate, coffee, tea, and any other caffeinated beverages or food can be fatal to a dog’s nervous system and heart.

Citrus oil - extracts may trigger regurgitation.

Fat trimmings – are not dog-friendly scraps because it causes pancreatitis.
