What foods are deadly to dogs?

Question

I already know that raisins and choclate are bad, but I want to know if there is any more.

Answer 1

Here is the list I go by, before feeding table scraps:
Onions (in any form)
Excessive salt (most prepared foods are salted)
Nitrates, which is in most processed meats
Mono-sodium glutamate, which is in SO many of our food items.
Chocolate, or candy of any kind.
Artificial sweeteners.
Raisins or grapes
Fruit seeds/pits, and most tree nuts are harmful.
Turkey fat/skin can be devastating, causing pancreas disease.
No cooked bones..
No corn or soy (found in most dog foods)
No fresh milk products, at all..
Nothing containing caffeine, such as coffee, cola or tea.
Nothing with excess fat, and ONLY low fat cheese
Easy on the organ meats (liver, etc) and easy on the cabbages and tomatoes.

Answer 2

Many dog foods were recalled in 2007 and what a lot of people don't realize is these foods were recalled, many of them, over and over again! Towards the end of 2007 it was mostly treats that were being recalled. I saw something, recently, that was on the news so briefly, something about dog food, that I didn't even catch it. What I have chosen to do is stick with my dog food that was not on the recall list in any of the 2007 recalls. But for about six months my dogs were eating a home cooked balanced (for dogs) diet. When more was known about where the problem seemed to stem from and I realized my brand was not recalled, then I went back to it. My brand is Nature's Recipe and it doesn't have wheat or corn. Other brands that were not recalled include: Canidae, Wellness, Orijen, Newman's Own, The Honest Kitchen. I know there were others, but I remember there were few that were not recalled. If you change your dogs' food, then do it gradually to prevent diarrhea, stomach upset. Also watch what treats you give your dog. Many treats, like jerky treats, dried chicken breast, etc. have been recalled due to salmonella.

Answer 3

Dogs should really only have a balance DOG food. If you want the best for your dog them go to the vet or pet food store and purchase something that best suits the breed and size of your dog. It can be very dangerous to give dogs human food for not only could you be setting your dog up for some serious illnesses but they may not be getting the recommended doggie doses they require for longevity. All of the food people have listed here are correct to avoid. I have seen many dogs with severe pancreatits and kidney and liver trouble due to inadequate dieting.
Bones are OK for your dog but you must only give raw fresh bones (Lamb shanks from the butcher is best, or chicken or turkey necks if your dog is a little breed), to save from bone punctures to intestines and other organs which causes serious illness and major surgery. If your dog does get into the chocolate etc don't panic as depending on the size of your dog it may be able to handle it! However it would probably have diarrhoea for a day or so but i would defiantly be keeping an eye on the dog to see any changes in behaviour and get immediate vet attention if severe diarrhoea or off food or bloating etc etc

Answer 4

I dont have a list of deadly foods for dogs but we feed our dog pretty much anything and they have never been really sick, hardly ever. Some people say chocolate is dog deadly but we have fed our dog chocolate before and she is fine. Some bones from chicken or turkeys can be deadly if they swallow it wrong.All dogs react different to different types of foods.

Answer 7

actually not every dog can die from those things
my dog got in to a big pan of brownies and he didn't have any problem with it
it may just be hard on the stomach
but don't give your dog chicken wing bones - they break and can puncture the dogs throat
and ask the vet next time you go
they will know for sure what foods to keep away from your certain type of dog

Answer 8

Onions are toxic, as are grapes. A big one that most people don't know about but is becomming more common is Xylitol. This is found in sugarfree gums, puddings, candies...anything with any kind of artificial sweetner, really. It can be very toxic.
