Answer 2

Onions can be harmful to dogs
Some types of grapes and raisins have been shown to cause kidney failure in dogs when eaten in quantity
Ingestion of rising bread dough can be life threatening to dogs.
Macadamia nuts can cause muscular weakness and tremors in dogs.
Excessively rich or fatty foods can trigger pancreatitis
dogs lack the enzyme required to digest lactose so no dairy
Tomatoes - can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias in your dog

Other then that I think you're okay, except for chocolate which I'm sure you know. My dog eats lots of human food and is very healthy.

I have a maltese/yorkie and a bichon/ yorkie who eat vegetables and fruit just about every day!!! My parrots call them over and throw them the food down from the cages!! They have NEVER been sick and seem to really enjoy eating them

Depends if you allow them to. Should you is the better question...in moderate amounts but watch for certain things that can cause BAd allergic reactiosn like grapes. And remember in moderation...followed by dental chew or other appriopriate hard dog food to clean their teeth.

Answer 6

Some things like grapes and raisins are very bad for dogs. Some dogs have their own allergies like humans. If you ant to know all of the things that aren't good for dogs call the vet and ask.

Answer 7

Dogs are carnivores, not omnivores. Dogs ARE very adaptable, but just because they can survive on an omnivorous diet does not mean it is the best diet for them.
