Wow! This is very interesting and informative to read. I must admit I never had thought or had an idea about raisins being so dangerous for dogs. Other toxins and medicine is also a first. How do you guys keep your dogs from getting to where they shouldnt be and eating the things that they shouldnt? I have been told that dogs can easily developd diabetes and shouldnt be given sugar too (unlike a few people I know). Also another question I have pertaining to dogs is do veterinarians give the same type of medicine to dogs that they do to humans?
Also to add to that I just read on the net that the list of foods that should be avoided by the dog are:
Avocado - Dogs,irds, rabbits, and some large animals, including horses, are especially sensitive to avocados, as they can have respiratory distress, congestion, fluid accumulation around the heart, and even death from consuming avocado.
Ethanol - Even ingesting a small amount of a product containing alcohol can cause significant intoxication.
Macadamia Nuts - Develop toxicosis
Onions and Garlic - Contain compounds that can damage dogs’ red blood cells
Moldy Foods
So there you go, some more things to add to the list
