Re: What fruit ?

Yep, a chemical in onions causes dogs red blood cells to weaken and possibly rupture, which leads to anaemia.

Re: What fruit ?

My two love carrots, and I was told by my vet that they are good to firm up poopies as they dont get digested well (my Airedale sometimes needs firmer poppies for her anal glands, yuk!).

I was reading recently a list of not so good human foods for dogs, here's some of it:

-Baby food can contain onion powder, which can be toxic to dogs.
-Chocolate, coffee, tea, and caffeinated drinks are bad. They contain caffeine which could be toxic and impact the heart and nervous systems.
- Citrus oil extracts result in vomiting. Stay away!
- Grapes and raisins contain unknown toxins which can do damage to the kidneys. Definitely considered toxic food for dogs.
- Mushrooms can result in shock and cause death.
- Alcohol can result in coma and death.
- Bread dough can result in a bloated belly and then disorientation and vomiting.
- Onions and garlic, whether it’s raw, cooked, or powder in large amounts have the ability to damage red blood cells and cause anemia.

Re: What fruit ?

I think technically alcohol is considered "toxic" to humans as it causes a reaction that normal food/drink wouldnt!

My Airedale has had beer in the past!

Re: What fruit ?

Surely our gravy isnt that different to dog gravy in canned meat products.

Maybe its the salt content... as with us, too much salt is real bad. I think dogs should be fed dog food...but the odd treat im sure is ok!

Beer and pizza is only for Friday nights!
