Answer 2

Chocolate. There is an alternate dog-friendly chocolate (it's technically not chocolate, but it tastes almost the same). Enough chocolate will kill a dog or cat.

Also, very greasy foods should be given in small amounts. It irritates a dog's digestive system (not a pretty sight).

Answer 3

Zach is right, chocolate can kill a dog. I've heard never give a cat aspirin. Also, some dry cat foods can cause deadly urinary problems in male cats, depending upon their ash content.

Answer 4

Dogs are not supposed to have Chocolate or Green Peppers or Onions. Not too sure about Cats though...keep poisenous plants away from your cats.

Answer 5

I'm not really sure about cats but I know that chocolate in large quantities can be fatal for dogs. Also onion can make a dog anemic and very sick.

Answer 6

Chocolate, Chicken Bones, Pork, Raw Hide all those are bad for dogs and cats.

Answer 7

I just know what not to feed dogs. Dogs cant eat anything with high fat content or spices it will iritate their stomach and intestines. It can even cause their intestines to bleed. Basicly don't feed it any food made with the intention of humans eating it.

Answer 8

Definatly don't give a dog chocolate. My dog died because it got into a bad of chocolate that we left on the counter. So don't ever let a dog have chocolate!

Answer 9

-Chocolate: contains a chemical called theobromine. Dogs can't metabolize theobromine as efficiently as humans so it builds up in their systems until it reaches a toxic level of concentration, which may lead to a variety of problem with the most serious being death due to cardiac arrest.
-Onions and Garlic: Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger.
-Macadamia Nuts
-Pear pips, the kernels of plums, peaches and apricots, apple core pips (contain cyanogenic glycosides resulting in cyanide posioning)
-Potato peelings and green looking potatoes
-Rhubarb leaves
-Mouldy/spoiled foods

-Coffee grounds, beans & tea (caffeine)
-Hops (used in home brewing)
-Tomato leaves & stems (green parts)

-Raisins and grapes
-Mushrooms
-Mustard seeds
-Walnuts
-Mistletoe berries
