For many dog owners, a common practice may be to feed their dogs human food. In many cases this can be detrimental to your pet’s health and wellness. Some foods can contribute to pet obesity, allergies, diabetes, and others may be downright toxic. For pet owners who can’t resist those “puppy dog eyes”, here is a list of common foods to avoid at all cost because they are toxic to dogs:

1. Raw eggs

Just like with humans, dogs face the risk of contracting Salmonella if they eat raw eggs. Cooked eggs can be beneficial for dogs, and can provide them a source of vitamins and protein, but feeding them a raw egg leads to the potential for Salmonella for the dog.

2. Chocolate and caffeine

Dogs along with most pets are more sensitive to caffeine than humans. While a little tiny bit, such as one or two laps of it won’t often be enough to cause much harm, a lot of caffeine ingestion is enough to poison most animals and can even kill small dogs. Chocolate also puts dogs, especially small dogs, at risk for chocolate poisoning. Just like caffeine, chocolate can be poison to most dogs, especially in big, solid amounts.

3. Grapes and raisins

Most dogs cannot ingest grapes or raisins. While a small amount might just make a dog sick, it has recently been discovered that grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure and can be fatal.

4. Onions and garlic

Even a minor ingestion of onions and garlic along with the rest of the allium family that these two foods fall into can be toxic to dogs. Studies show that dogs that take in more than .5% of their body weight, ingesting these foods is toxic enough to be fatal. Japanese breeds such as the Shiba Inu are more sensitive to onions and garlic in comparison to other dog breeds.

5. Raw meat with bones

Dogs will often want meat from you when you’re eating it. Just like with humans, raw meat can be toxic to dogs, and there are certain bones that you should not give your dog. If they like to chew on bones, give them pork or rib bones, both of which can crack and are smaller and are less likely to get stuck in a dog’s throat.

While these are not the only toxic foods for dogs out there, these are the most common ones, and the ones to watch out for because they may be fatal. If you’re unsure what to feed your dog, talk to your veterinarian about healthy dog foods and ask for a recommendation to order prescription dog food online. Also, if you want to continue to give your dogs treats, it might be better to steer clear of table scraps in favor of healthy dog treats.
