Thank you for this post, very good information. I'm going to print this off for reference. I knew most of them, but a few were new to me, so it's a good idea for everyone to read and refresh their knowledge.
This list was emailed to EBN from Sandy, thanks Sandy!
Something else to watch out for is any kind of sugar free gum. Obviously this isn't something you would intentionally feed your dog but accidental ingestion can be fatal if the gum contains xylitol. Dentyne Ice, Orbits, and Trident are some brands that typically contain this sugar-free sweetener. Xylitol can cause hypoglycemia or liver damage, and a very small amount can be dangerous. We found this out the hard way 3 years ago when my miniature schnauzer found a piece of gum that my daughter dropped on the floor. Fortunately I saw her chewing on it and was able to get the mangled piece out of her mouth before she had actually eaten it. About an hour later she became extremely lethargic, vomitted, hid under my bed and began refusing food and water. I immediately rushed her to the emergency vet and after blood tests and 4 hours of IV fluids, the vet determined that she had xylitol poisoning from the gum. If she had actually eaten the piece she more than likely would have died. We were very lucky and blessed that our baby was ok, but we learned a huge lesson and now sugar-free gum is forbidden in our house. Just something to be aware of.
Good thing Bacon quit smoking recently :-)
Whoops on the onions!!! Dexter really likes them! He loves blueberries & yogurt though. From what I understand, both are good for dogs too.
What about squashes? My sweet face likes to go in the garden and pick one out and I normally give him the leftovers of what I cut up.
