Like Kay said , just be sensible. I wouldn't buy it a selection box lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sirius 1,391 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I can assure everyone garlic is safe it's actually sold in many licensed veterinary medicines. Onions are dangerous in any quantity as they will cause anaemia. Dark chocolate can also be poisonous if large amounts are ingested. One of the most common is paracetamol and also NSAIDs like ibuprofen. There is some good information here it's for veterinary professionals. http://www.vpisuk.co.uk/portal/CommonPoisons/tabid/119/Default.aspx It's worth remembering that many things in quantity will kill your dog even water if it drank enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,770 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 sultanas./ grapes/ raisins/ onions/ liquorice and chocolate. also chemicals found in household cleaning products that can prove fatal if a dog walks through a chemical found in floor cleaners and then licks its paws. some dogs are attracted to the taste of anti freeze just a few licks of the sweet liquid can be fatal.. Did he/she say the best thing to feed them was the stuff they sell in the waiting room? Lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Denise, ten ton of stuff out there that are harmful to dogs if eaten. With most of the 'edible' stuff on that list, its all about moderation. My old mums little terrier thingy gets chocolate daily, usually the last bit of a kitkat or something. Got it all her life and she's about 13. Had a dog that loved grapes too.. well, he loved catching 'em an ate 'em too, he lived to a ripe old age but sommat far more deadly to dogs seen him off... a car! And garlic is very good for dogs. The one i'm always wary of, especially when we've had a bbq or at a show, is corn on the cob husks, usually drenched in butter dogs love 'em and a discarded husk will play hell with a dogs gut. It was an article by Dave Sleight years ago, when he lost a dog to one that made me think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
