Foods poisonous to pets

My dog lived for 14 years and she had coffee every day with me for breakfast, she also had eggs and bacon about twice a week, she was a very happy girl until old age caught up to her,may she rest in peace, I hope they have coffee for her in puppy heaven !!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a load of crap - dogs and cats are scavengers and survive of whatever they can find. Our dogs and cats are fit, healthy and old and have got there by eating everything!

but my dog love bones left overs they alwz eat it but nothing happened

Yes, the traditional healthy dog food is best! Their dog food has all the nutrition which the dog needs , and without all those bad side affects which table scraps will cause them. Dogs actually have a much healthier diet (from their dog food) than many people have, I think.

you are lying your asses off about all of this.

Although I have experienced feeding our cat/s cat food sold in cartons, I've also been feeding them leftover food from our daily meals. One cat loved the junk food we enjoy eating too. Did not notice any bad effect on them, thank God.

I am 45 years old and raised on a farm in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and we raised all of our pets ( mind you not just dogs) and were fed there regular bought dog food for the vitamins needed that cooked and artificially seasoned products loose while cooking. But after lunch and then after dinner times all left overs and scraps were fed to the dogs and you can rest assuredthat thus far my youngest is 6 years and the oldes is 9, and they are the healthiest dogs i have ever and proudly owned. So as for this article; who ever wrote it needs to go back to OL'SKUL SCHOOL, and learn some true facts.

I give my the costco brand is it good for her?

so how do animals survive in the wild if they cant eat raw meat? Have they mastered the art of cooking and I dont know about it yet? Crazy,

THE ARTICLE WOULD BE MORE IMPRESSIVE IF SIMPLE WORDS (LIKE STEAL) WERE SPELLED CORRECTLY.

who is the girl?? its pathetic this article even made it on yahoo

Megan, you are probably on the payrol of the dog food industry. Do you know, that in most counties on earth American style "dog food" does not exist even today? I am sure, that before the dog food industry was invented, even in this country dogs ate everything else. It is a matter of long term diet though - like for humans too. If a dog has never eaten anything else but "dog food", then he/she will not tolerate fat, meat, etc. But if a dog had "people's food" all the time, will not even taste any "manufactured" dog food. And believe me, dogs live happily all around the world without dog food.

Megan obviously doesn't know a whole lot about dogs. While most of the foods listed are in fact somewhat toxic to dogs, avocados aren't. Grove dogs eat avos all the time with no ill effect other than gaining weight. They normally don't eat the skins of these fruits either. The remark about "we know that pets aren't supposed to have human food" is also totally false. In fact, more dogs these days are suffering from cancer because they're not eating human food, they're eating low grade commercial pet food instead. There is quality dog kibble available but most of the widely advertised dog foods are not in the same category; they contain feces, animal by-products, poisons, restaurant grill fats, etc. Do your homework folks before you discard all human food as bad for pets...

I give my dog the costco brand is it good for her?

I believe this article would be refering to little domesticated dogs, like Fifi the toy poodle or Raymondo the Pomagranian, not Sarge the German Shepard/Husky mix. I feed my dog bones (not chicken) and raw meat. No chocolate, however, he ate all the chocolate in my daughters Easter basket and he didn't have any after effect. Lot of choclate, too.

when my dog was a puppy she ate rat poison, i immediately called the vet and they told me to give her a cap full of peroxide to make her vomit... it worked!! she is now 2 years old

This article makes me hungry.

You are correct about many points in your article. However, I trained my mother's dog Trudy - a dachsund/poodle mix - to do tricks with raisins, with no ill effects. She also loved tea (liberally weakened with milk) - we were a British household, after all. Trudy lived to the ripe old age of sixteen.

Another word: before you masquarade as an expert on something, it helps the illusion along if you learn how to spell.

Yeahh...When I was a kid, my mom used to give our puppies milk with garlic in it; it is said to help the dog so it doesn't get worms.
Most of our dogs lived without any problems (the ones that died were poisoned).
As for the meat thing; I'm sure that dogs do have to eat raw meat...I mean since when did fido learn how to cook, so he can prepare himself a well done steak?

that's really good to know this because we can also prevent this kind of food
