If your dog has ingested any of these foods, get veterinary help immediately:

Grapes and Raisins: Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill a dog
Onions: Onions destroy red blood cells and can cause anemia.
Chocolate: Chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death. Baker’s chocolate is the most dangerous. A dog can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine because it is not as concentrated, but it is still dangerous.
Coffee, Coffee grounds, tea and tea bags: Drinks/foods containing caffeine cause many of the same symptoms chocolate causes
Macadamia Nuts: Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis.
Animal fat and fried foods: Excessive fat can cause pancreatitis.
Bones: Bones can splinter and damage a dog’s internal organs.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias. Tomato plants are the most toxic, but tomatoes themselves are also unsafe.
Avocados: The fruit, pit and plant are all toxic. They can cause difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart
Nutmeg: Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures and death
Apples, Cherries, Peaches and similar fruit: The seeds of these fruits contain cyanide, which is poisonous to dogs as well as humans. Unlike humans, dogs do not know to stop eating at the core/pit and easily ingest them.
Raw eggs: Raw eggs can cause salmonella poisoning in dogs. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract than humans and are not as likely to suffer from food poisoning, but it is still possible.
Salt: Excessive salt intake can cause kidney problems.

Food that most dogs can eat:
Some “human” foods are good for dogs. Most of these are healthier than the boxed treats you buy in the grocery store. . This is just a small list of examples of foods dogs can eat, not a list of every food they should eat. Dogs won’t necessarily get all the nutrients they need if they eat these foods exclusively, so check with your veterinarian if you are interested in feeding your dog a home cooked diet.
Any food that causes stomach upsets or digestive problems in your dogs should be avoided. Like people, some dogs cannot tolerate certain foods

Meats:
Meats should be boneless and it’s best if the skin is removed. I don’t consider raw meat a good idea because of the small risk of food poisoning and parasites.
Skinless, boneless chicken breast
Skinless, boneless turkey breast
Boneless fish

Vegetables:
Dogs have shorter digestive tracts than humans and cannot digest most vegetables whole or in large chunks. It’s best to put them through a food processor before giving them to your dog
Carrots
Green Beans
Lettuce
Potatoes
Yams

Grains:
Grains should not be given in large amounts or make up a large part of a dog’s diet, but these foods are generally safe in small amounts
Rice
Bread

Dairy products
Use caution with dairy products as they are high in fat and can cause pancreatitis, gas and diarrhea. Usually, nonfat plain yogurt is safe in small amounts

Hope this helps :)

grapes
raisins
sultanas
onions
avocado
chocolate
dairy (dogs r lactose intolerant)
these foods are all pretty toxic to dogs and even a small dose could be fatal. i would also stick away from cooked meats. the reason being that if u look back to the wolf, they only ate raw meat. a dogs body and digestive system has therefore not adapted to the cooked food diet. maybe in a few hundred years the dog will be further adapted and have less food problems, but for the time being, its best to stick away from it.

if u want to give ur dog a little treat, try a raw, beaten egg, small scoop of natural asidophilus yogurt or natural, unsweetened, unsugared cottage cheese. (this is the only dairy that is ok for dogs - but dont give too often)

another thing to stick away from is any sugary products or anything with preservatives. if u just keep in mind that all dogs r naturally only raw meat eaters, u shouldnt have a prob with foods. try not to give him much of the food u would eat and if u get pet food from the supermarket try to find the one with lease by products and additives.

good luck with ur dog! hope i was able to help with ur question!! =)

well what we did with our dog is after a few weeks we started mixing a little bit of hard food with his hold food and every month we took a little less wet food out and but a little more of the dry stuff so the puppy gets used to the changes slowly and after a few months they'll be on a diffrent food, hope i helped!
