Frequently asked questions

What foods are most dangerous for dogs?

The big ones are chocolate, grapes and raisins, onion and garlic, xylitol (a sweetener in sugar-free gum and treats), macadamia nuts, alcohol and caffeine. Grapes and xylitol are especially dangerous because even small amounts can cause organ failure.

Can dogs eat human food at all?

Yes, many plain whole foods are fine as occasional treats, such as carrots, apple without the core, plain cooked chicken and pumpkin. Keep treats to about 10 percent of your dog's daily calories and avoid anything salty, sugary or seasoned.

My dog ate something on the Never list, what do I do?

Do not wait for symptoms. Call your vet or an animal poison control line straight away (numbers are at the top of this page) and tell them what and roughly how much was eaten. Fast action makes a big difference.

Is peanut butter safe for dogs?

Plain peanut butter is fine, but check the label first: some brands contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. If it is xylitol-free, a small amount is a popular treat.
