Things puppies aren't supposed to eat

I knew about onions i forgot about tomatoes as my puppy played with green ones over the summer and had the skins today. I think they cant have to much of certain things since their stomachs cant digest it or something.

I knew about onions, and of course a lot of salt would not be good. We gave ours walnuts, didn't know walnuts came salted, ours never did. They also got a few eggs for breakfast when they got their raw diet. Eggs are good for their coat.

I remember my mom saying somewhere she read that popcorn could not be fed to some small breed because it would kill them.

OK kids. Salted popcorn is not good for chooks! A dog may live until 13 but it may not be a very happy 13. It's not the salt in walnuts that's bad for puppies. If there were an AA for dogs, he would be taking me to those meetings.

This is so much better than facebook.

This thread made me laugh. We have a schnauzer and he's a pretty great dog. He doesn't go into the garbage....isn't a jerk about begging for food while we're eating... doesn't pull food off of the counter, etc. He'll even sit on a chair at the kitchen table and won't touch food on the plates there. BUT - he'll go after alcohol. I realized this as a puppy when he decided to scale some furniture to knock over a wine glass (that only had a sip left) to drink what fell on the table. And if it's beer? Forget it. He goes nuts when we're drinking it. Bad dog!!!!! Sheesh.

This is the only food he's gone for from the table:

The list is a little over cautious IMO however to call it "horse pucky" is a little dismissive. Chocolate toxicity is real and does kill, every Holiday the Vets that I worked for had several cases of "chocolate dogs" and I was always there to clean up the vomiting and monitor heart rhythm late into the night in some cases. Raisins and grapes can and does cause sever kidney issues and death, even one human serving of raisins can be enough to kill a dog. Onions are an issue but only if eaten in large quantities or unless the dog is extra sensitive.

Just because your dog didn't die for xxxxxx food eaten doesn't mean that the concerns aren't real. Lots of dogs die each year from getting into things they shouldn't or ignorant owners feeding the wrong things too often.

Did y'all know that most dogs LOVE baby carrots? Raw? My stepson's dog was here visiting, and after the dog went out and did it's business, they gave it a baby carrot for a treat. They said that the dog got too fat, and the Vet suggested the carrots. And the dog WILL pout and pee in the house if you don't give it it's carrot treat!

I know first hand about onions. 15 yrs ago one of my dachshunds ate too many and got a severe hemolytic anemia. She almost died, had to have a blood transfusion. I can do one better than the dog chewing the sunglasses. My Brittany spaniel was in spastic mode one evening while I was bent over toweling off another wet dog. She ran full force into me and hit me in the face with her head. She hit me so hard, she broke my glasses and gave me a whopper of a black eye. 10 days later, I still have a black eye and the trifocal glasses will cost me a fortune to fix. Thankfully I had an old pair to use

Thanks all. I did forget to mention raisins. When I go to the barn every morning to make oatmeal for the girls (with raisins) the puppy always got a few. Not nearly as many as I eat, though. It just occurred to me I'm more concerned with what my animals eat than the *$%& I put into my own body. With all the crap he's eaten in his 5 months it's no wonder he only weighs 20 pounds.
