Damn! Great, like really! Add a table of contents next time, reallyyy. That way these noobs dun get lost!!
Welcome! I'm gonna make a list of things that you should NOT feed your dog and the reasons why (sometimes I wont put the reason). Another thing is, I looked it up and I'm picking some items to put on here. And I'll try to change to words up alittle Ok so lets get started. items: |Reason: •Alcoholic |it can cause Beverages |intoxication,coma |and death ------------------------------------------ •Avocado |The leaves, seeds, |fruit, and bark contain |persin, which can |cause vomiting and |diarrhea ------------------------------------------ •Bones from. |can cause obstruction Fish, poultry, |or laceration of the Or other |digestive system meat sources| ------------------------------------------ •Cat food |it is too high in protein |and fats. ------------------------------------------ •chocolate, |can cause vomiting Coffee, tea, |and diarrhea and be and other |toxic to the heart and Caffeine |nervous systems. ------------------------------------------ •citrus oil |it can cause vomiting Extracts | ------------------------------------------ •fat trimmings|it can cause |pancreatitis ------------------------------------------•Fish (raw, |if it is fed exclusively or Canned and |in high amounts it can Cooked). |result in a thiamine |deficiency leading to |loss of appetite, |seizures, and in severe |cases, and death. ------------------------------------------ •grapes,raisin|it contains an and currants |unknown toxin, which |can damage the |kidneys.

I might make a second part of this. I needed some sites to help me with this. Thanks for reading this. And I tried to do this thread. Yw[/quote]
THANK YOU for the all green repost, I can read that one well!! As for not feeding dogs those foods though, I think that's primarily purebred dogs, my dog eats crazy things like plastic and aluminum! (I once found an open safety pin sticking out of a pile of his poop like a cherry on a sundae, my first thought was "I didn't know we had a safety pin in the house", the second was "how is he still alive?!")
Correction, MOST dogs will eat anything, my mom's dog is a polar opposite. He will eat very FEW things, almost none of which is dog food or dog food related like dog treats. He will eat boiled chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, cookies and peppermint patties (but only if the peppermint patties are his brand). If you try to give him dog food he will lay under the bed and growl until you give him the food he wants. The only dog related thing he will eat are his Heartgard chews and that is with hesitation. :-0 BTW I know none of that stuff is on the "approved" list for dogs, but we can't let him starve. :'-(
