FORBIDDEN FOODS, a PSA

OMG MY FELLOW PEEPS!  DID YOU KNOW WE CAN'T EAT:

  1. Grapes and Raisins: Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in us dogs!
  2. Onions: Onions destroy red blood cells and can cause anemia. 
  3. Chocolate, Caffeine & Tea: These can cause seizures, coma and death. But if your dogs just can't resist eating chocolate & "accidentally" eat some of your s'more bits, see if you used Baker’s chocolate because it's the most dangerous of its kind. And did you know we can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine, but it is still dangerous?!
  4. Macadamia Nuts & Walnuts and most other nuts*Sugar/Salt Free Organic Peanut Butter is the only exception* YUM!
  5. Animal fat and fried foods: Oh no! This causes pancreatitis, which is deadly!
  6. COOKED BonesCooked bones can splinter, poke holes in our intestines and damage our internal organs and kill us! Especially Chicken Bones!  *We can eat RAW bones, but I need to be supervised when I'm gnawing on them.  And I never get to eat chicken bones, cooked or raw, because they're too risky.*
  7. Tomatoes: Tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias.
  8. Avocados: The fruit, pit and plant are all toxic. They can cause difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation in our chest, abdomen & heart.                     
  9. Nutmeg: Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures and DEATH. 
  10. Fruits with PITS:  Pits of various fruits can be lodged in the intestines & kill us within 24 hours & we won't even know it!
  11. Raw eggs: Raw eggs can cause salmonella poisoning in us. *COOKED organic eggs are best.*
  12. Salt: Salt can cause kidney and blood pressure problems.
  13. Mushrooms: Can be deadly- tell your Mommy not to let you chew on mushrooms found in the backyard. *shiitake, maitake and reishi are the only exceptions, though.*
  14. Sugar and Corn Syrups. EVEN ORGANIC IS BAD! (this does not include Honey or Molasses though they should only be in small amounts and never for dogs with cancer)
Thanks to our friends @ http://www.treshanley.com/cic/dangerousfoods.html for this info! My Siblings & I really appreciate it!

Other stuff that's bad for us:

Bread--Wheat and most refined grains and flours are bad for us.
Corn--I'm allergic to this!  Lots of dogs usually are.
Good grains are Barley, Brown Rice and they say White Rice is good when I have a tummyache.
Junk Food!
