What should you never feed to a dog?

Question

like Turkey, Ham , etc.

Answer 1

Actually, there's nothing wrong with turkey or ham because it's meat, but it should be given in moderation only and not as a daily diet.

I have a great link that you can print out and keep on your fridge that lists foods you should never feed your dog.

Answer 2

Never feed them anything but a good premium brand of dog food. An occassional piece of meat, turkey, ham, beef is OK, but not too often. DO NOT feed them chocolate, especially dark chocolate and no onions.

Answer 3

Chocolate

Answer 4

Never feed a dog chocolate.

Alcoholic beverages Can cause intoxication, coma, and death.
Baby food Can contain onion powder, which can be toxic to dogs. (Please see onion below.) Can also result in nutritional deficiencies, if fed in large amounts.
Bones from fish, poultry, or other meat sources Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system.
Cat food Generally too high in protein and fats.
Chocolate, coffee, tea, and other caffeine Contain caffeine, theobromine, or theophylline, which can be toxic and affect the heart and nervous systems.
Citrus oil extracts Can cause vomiting.
Fat trimmings Can cause pancreatitis.
Grapes and raisins Contain an unknown toxin, which can damage the kidneys.
Hops Unknown compound causes panting, increased heart rate, elevated temperature, seizures, and death.
Human vitamin supplements containing iron Can damage the lining of the digestive system and be toxic to the other organs including the liver and kidneys.
Large amounts of liver Can cause Vitamin A toxicity, which affects muscles and bones.
Macadamia nuts Contain an unknown toxin, which can affect the digestive and nervous systems and muscle.
Marijuana Can depress the nervous system, cause vomiting, and changes in the heart rate.
Milk and other dairy products Some adult dogs and cats do not have sufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the lactose in milk. This can result in diarrhea. Lactose-free milk products are available for pets.
Moldy or spoiled food, garbage Can contain multiple toxins causing vomiting and diarrhea and can also affect other organs.
Mushrooms Can contain toxins, which may affect multiple systems in the body, cause shock, and result in death.
Onions and garlic (raw, cooked, or powder) Contain sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions.
Persimmons Seeds can cause intestinal obstruction and enteritis.
Pits from peaches and plums Can cause obstruction of the digestive tract.
Potato, rhubarb, and tomato leaves; potato and tomato stems Contain oxalates, which can affect the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems. This is more of a problem in livestock.
Raw eggs Contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin). This can lead to skin and hair coat problems. Raw eggs may also contain Salmonella.
Raw fish Can result in a thiamine (a B vitamin) deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death. More common if raw fish is fed regularly.
Salt If eaten in large quantities it may lead to electrolyte imbalances.
String Can become trapped in the digestive system; called a "string foreign body."
Sugary foods Can lead to obesity, dental problems, and possibly diabetes mellitus.
Table scraps (in large amounts) Table scraps are not nutritionally balanced. They should never be more than 10% of the diet. Fat should be trimmed from meat; bones should not be fed.
Tobacco Contains nicotine, which affects the digestive and nervous systems. Can result in rapid heart beat, collapse, coma, and death.
Yeast dough Can expand and produce gas in the digestive system, causing pain and possible rupture of the stomach or intestines.

Answer 6

Chocolate is poison for dogs...they can get very sick, and can even die from it if they eat to much of it. Another thing I would avoid is the greenie things that look like toothbrushes. You see them at petsmart and in grocery stores. I've heard of dogs dying because they are choking on those toothbrush parts. I never buy them for my dog anymore.

Answer 7

You really shouldn't give your dogs ANY table scraps. It can cause stones in their stomachs. My dog's vet has jars on display of stones he has removed from dog's stomachs and it is disgusting.
But if you must feed them scraps, make sure it is SMALL quantities and no chocolate or bones. Bone chips caused my buddie's German Shepherd to die at 7 years old. Very tragic. Plus anything pork will give them major gas.

I sometimes add rice to my puppy's food to encourage her to eat, and besides that she gets ZERO scraps. She sleeps when we eat dinner; no begging.

Answer 8

Chocolate!!

Answer 9

Never feed a dog pork, table scrapes, cooked bones, chocolate, onions, grapes/raisins

Answer 10

I usually dont feed my dog any human food. But I give him an occasional snack. What I wouldnt ever feed him is chocolate,chicken bones, onions, garlic,poop,and crap thats outside. Thats pretty much it. So it really doesnt matter if he eats poop but its gross and i cant let him lick my face. And everything else is bad for them, Good Luck if you have a dog.
