raw meat!

• Grapes and Raisins can cause irreversible damage to the kidneys, possible resulting in death.
• Onions can cause a form of hemolytic anemia called Heinz body anemia, a condition that causes the destruction of red blood cells. Kidney damage may follow.
• Chocolate and cocoa contain a chemical called theobromide that can adversely affect the heart, lungs, kidney and central nervous system.
• Caffeine is quite similar to the toxic chemical in chocolate. It can damage the heart, lungs, kidney and central nervous system.
• Macadamia nuts, while generally not considered fatal, can cause your dog to experience severe illness.
• Xylitol is a sugar-free sweetener most often found in Chewing Gum and candy. In dogs, it stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin, resulting in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Xylitol ingestion can also cause severe liver damage.
• Alcoholic Beverages contain ethanol - a seriously toxic chemical compound that causes central nervous system and respiratory depression. (Uncooked yeast doughs also produce ethanol.)
• Apple seeds, cherry pits, peach pits, and plum pits contain the toxin cyanide.
• Moldy or rotten foods can cause many problems for your dog, some more serious than others. Any food that seems "past its prime" should be kept out reach. Be especially careful to keep your dog away from trash cans.

Certain foods, while not considered toxic, can still be unhealthy for your dog. Avoid any foods that are high in fat, sugar or sodium. These foods can contribute to indigestion, obesity, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and more. Dairy products may be difficult for dogs to digest. Corn cobs and bones can cause GI obstruction. Cooked bones may splinter and break easily, risking GI damage. Like people, too much junk food can cause poor condition and decreased energy. Remember that your dog is smaller than you and may be sensitive. What seems like "just a bite" for you is more like a small meal for your dog. If you want to feed homemade food, seek advice from your vet. You may wish to meet with a nutritionist for diet recommendations.

Answer 3

There are many foods which are harmful to domesticated dogs. Some of the most well known foods toxic to dogs are chocolate and candies, but also extend to onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, nuts (i.e. peanuts, cashews, and especially almonds), mushrooms, and small bones (i.e. chicken or other small fowl bones) which dogs can easily choke on.

The consequences of a dog eating these foods, especially in large quantities, may be fatal. Therefore, it is very important that these items not be included in your dog's diet, and to make sure that foods which contain these ingredients are sealed tightly and outside of their reach.
