a man's treat could be his dog's poison
did you know that some basic food items are poisonous to dogs? i don't own dogs (although Larry keeps bugging me about getting one someday), but i think they're the cutest animals and like playing with them, so this is something i'll have to remember when i'm around my sister's dog and friends' dogs.
the following foods contain chemicals which can be deadly for dogs, so keep them far, far away from:
-chocolate (especially cocoa powder and cooking chocolate)
-macadamia nuts
-onions
-garlic
other potential danger items for dogs include:
-alcohol
-coffee grounds, beans & tea (caffeine)
-tomato leaves & stems (green parts)
-broccoli
-raisins and grapes
-cigarettes, tobacco, cigars

Are you sure about garlic? I read that it is good for them...I made some treat with garlic in it for Oscar. Hmm...I better do my research on that one. It would be sad if Oscar can't have garlic.
According to that website above, "While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness."
So I guess if there's only a little bit of garlic, then it's okay. Just make sure not to give Oscar large amounts of it at a time...
How's cute Oscar doing?
