I thought it would be helpful to list down a list of human food that are poisonous, or would cause harm to dogs. For those that give home cooked food to your canine pals, you might want to take a look at the list.
- Alcoholic drinks - can cause intoxication and death. Not only dogs, humans can be intoxicated as well.
- Apple cores - choking hazard
- Avocado leaves, fruit, bark and seed - toxic. It's good for our complexion, but not for dogs.
- Baby food that contains onion powder - onion powder is toxic
- Bone of fish and poultry - can cause choking or laccerations due to the bones splintering. As for poultry, letting your dog eat it raw might be safer. My Rotts eat one raw chicken everyday.
- Brocolli - toxic
- Citrus oil extracts - causes vomitting
- Coffee - toxic. Dogs don't need it even if they feel lethargic.
- Garlic - toxic. There's a saying that if you feed dogs garlic, it will repel ticks. But hey, it is still toxic to the dogs.
- Grapes - toxic
- Human vitamins that contain iron - toxic
- Macadamia nuts - toxic
- Mouldy or spoiled food - toxic
- Mushrooms - toxic
- Onions - toxic
- Persimmons - choking hazard and intestinal blockage
- Pork chop bones - they will splinter and cause choking
- Potato peelings - toxic
- Raisins - toxic
- Raw eggs - causes salmonella
- Raw fish - causes vitamin B deficiency
- Salmon - toxic
- Salt - can lead to electrolyte imbalance if given in huge amounts
- Sugar - can cause obesity
