If you are a dog owner, you don’t need me to tell you that dogs are part of our families. You want the best for your furry friend and you probably do everything in your power to keep him safe (much like with our children!). It’s important for you to know what types of human foods are safe for your dog to eat and what foods you should avoid at all costs.
Dog-Safe Foods:
Blueberries: high in antioxidants
Bananas: rich in potassium and vitamin C
Kiwis: rich in potassium and vitamin C
Pineapples: high in antioxidants
Strawberries: high in fiber and antioxidants
Safe, but…
Peaches: remove the pit – it can cause intestinal blockages and is a choking hazard
Apples: don’t let dogs eat the seeds
Oranges: high in natural sugar – give in moderation
Lemons: your dog may not like the bitter taste
Watermelon: remove the rind and seeds first
NOT Safe:
Grapes and Raisins: can cause kidney failure
Avocados: can cause vomiting
Cherries: can cause cyanide poisoning in large quantities
Onions: can damage red blood cells
Chocolate: poison to dogs!
