What shouldn't we feed your dog?

And they smoke marijuana socially, all the time...

Visa too, I told her to stop for the baby's sake, but she's just so dang irresponsible!

I feed raw fish, raw eggs, milk, garlic, table scraps...and hops is in Visa's Stressex...We're all good!

mushrooms
chocolate
grapes
jalepnos, (that's pretty obvious, but don't leave mexican food containers laying about. Jalenos or hot sauce can cause permanent damage to dogs' esophogus.)
and for Daisy, dog food. It gives her diarrhea.

I also feed Raw Fish, Raw Eggs, and milk - no problems here.

Garlic is also VERY good for fleas and is in many foods/treats.


Of course, it all depends on moderation!

Yup. Garlic is actually good for your dogs in moderation. Excessive amounts can be bad. But if you look at the best dog food, most have a little garlic in it

Darn! Logan so looks forward to her cocktail hour with a ciggie and glass of wine!

Grapes???? Yikes! Except for cereal, it's the only people food she loves! (ok..and licking the ice cream bowl). A few seedless ones get tossed and shoved and rolled then enjoyed. I guess I'll have to eat them in the closet or bathroom now.

I always sprinkled a dash of garlic on Cody's food cause I heard it helped keep the fleas off, and he never had any. And a bit of coffee (with cream please) was his fave (as he read the morning paper)

Geesh..now I'm trying to make light cause now I'm upset.

The seeds are the poisonous part of the grape so seedless grapes should be fine. If you have a big dog than a grape or two with seeds shouldn't be a problem.

Ir isn't just the grapes with seeds -- all grapes have an unknown toxin that can harm dogs.

Grapes and raisins have both been shown to result in potentially fatal kidney failure in dogs and cats, although the underlying toxin has not been identified. Green or purple grapes; organically grown or commercially grown; seeds or seedless; grapes grown in many different areas of the country; and raisins from those grapes--all have been found to be harmful. What we do know is that the toxin is not related to the use of pesticides or due to zinc or lead in the fruit. Fungal elements have not been implicated either. As of today, the toxic element remains a mystery, but it's effects are all too real.

Hmm, Jasper eats raw fish, raw eggs, and lots of table scraps. I even give him the occasional fat trimming, though I know to be careful with those.

My vet keeps turkey flavored baby food on hand to distract scared doggies while they're getting vaccinations.
