Did you know that there are many food items that are harmful or even toxic to dogs? While some foods may only cause discomfort or an upset stomach, there are foods that are so toxic to dogs that even a small amount of it can be fatal.
As a dog owner it is good to be aware of basic foods that we might have at hand in our homes and that should not be given to our dogs. For example, many people love chocolate and grapes, but these are some of those food items that should never enter a dog’s mouth.
Here is a list of some food items that are said be harmful to dogs according to my research. Always research if a food item is OK to give to a dog, before giving it.

Treats
Nuts
Even non-toxic nuts pose dangers to dogs. Many nuts can cause an upset stomach, irritate the gastrointestinal lining, nuts can be a chocking hazard and there is a possibility for the nuts to cause an intestinal blockage. Salt and mold on nuts are also very dangerous to dogs. Always research whether or not the nut you are planning to give to your dog is toxic or not and what the risks are.
Other Food Items
Drinks
Other Substances
Also human medicine and many plants can be toxic to dogs.
