Things your pet shouldn't eat

I have read in other on line articles that garlic is good for dogs since it is a natural repellent for fleas and such. Also in underdeveloped countries they feed cloves to dogs, in their food, so they can not fleas and even rabies. Of course this sounds far fetched but they do what they can for their dogs. I have heard testimonials from people who have done this and they say it does not harem the dog. The dogs is still alive and running around.

If garlic is so bad for dogs why is it in dog treats?

who the hell gives dogs/cats gum?!

Macadamia nuts are very dangerous --- keep them away from dogs
They can cause paralysis and death

My dog ate a whole bag of Halloween candy once! I was so scared I called the vet, cause she ate an entire Hershey bar that was in it, but nothing happened to her! whew

For those of you who didn't know, many dogs are allergic to corn and corn based products, which is the main ingredient in most low grade dog foods. If your dog scratches a lot and doesn't have flees, check the ingredients in his food. Chances are there's corn in it. Changing his/her food to one without corn should do the trick. Your dog should stop scratching in a couple of days if not right away. Just a little FYI.

bad owners are the worst for pets health

Do we really need an article telling us that GUM is bad for our pets?! Please tell me that people in our country are smart enough to figure that out on there own. PLEASE!!!

Lilies killed one of my cats. I wish they were listed here...more people should know.

I love my pets and I appreciate any valuable advice from other loving pet owners that can help me keep my pets healthy. Thanks to everyone who loves and cares for a pet or animal of any kind.

I cook for my dogs every week a rotation of ground turkey/chicken/beef/salmon, with veggies and either barley/brown rice/oats. They are very healthy, happy and active Jack Russells.

Commercial dog food is filled with preservatives, meat by products and corn. Alot of them have fillings that equate to road kill (i.e. the bones and teeth and other parts of animals). I wish people would research what is REALLY being put into this commercialized food before automatically assuming that is what dogs are supposed to eat. I did and will NEVER go back...

Dogs have been around centuries without commercial dog food, it is a modern invention and the companies have done a great job of brainwashing people into thinking it is the norm...

also small chicken bones are harmful

Dark chocolate is more dangerous than milk chocolate. Check the ingredients on dog treats. Many of them have garlic. It is the excessive amounts that are dangerous.

@ Emily "Who gives a dog sugarless gum??" Have you ever even owned a dog? You don't have to give it to them, they have a tendency to just get into things they shouldn't.

Do not let your cat near a tea bag either. Our first cat got hold of one, opened it and ate some of the tea leaves. She went to warp 3 from the caffeine rush.Couldn't slow down, even banked turns off the walls. Vet couldn't do anything except let her run it off. Slept for two days after that. If she ate more it would have killed her.

Do NOT let your cat eat pot brownies!...trust me.

My Cat "Max" loves to eat those daddy long leg spiders that hand around corners in the house. He'll only stomp! on roaches for me to pick up and dispose of.He's a good roach catcher. Fred my other Cat, he'll bring us huge rats! to the door, he picks these things! up in the canal behind our house.
