[Updated with Sago Palm and Xylitol]
An email showed up this morning warning me not to feed grapes or raisins to dogs, and I thought … oh that’s BS. I’m checking Snopes.com.
But sure enough, it’s true. It can cause their kidneys to fail. So I read on and found a number of things we eat that are poisonous to our canine family members:
- Grapes
- Raisins
- Chocolate
- Coco
- Macadamia Nuts
- Onions
- Potato peelings and green looking potatoes
- Sago Palm (Cycad) House Plants
- Anything containing the sugar substitute Xylitol.
I don’t currently have a dog, but plan to adopt one again someday, and I’m going to keep this list handy (and updated here on the web) because I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.
