Common Foods Dangerous to Dogs

I saw an article in Real Simple (October 2009) about some common foods that can make your dog (or cat) sick. I had no idea that some of these foods were bad for animals, so I thought I would share. After all, our pets need healthy living tips too!!


1. Avocados
2. Macadamia nuts
3. Raw yeast, bread dough
4. Alcoholic drinks
5. Xylitol (sweetener most commonly found in sugarless gum)
6. Garlic
7. Onions
8. Raisins
9. Grapes
10. Chocolate

I am also posting a picture of our dog, Kodi. Well actually he is Keith's dog from before we got married and let's just say that Kodi has still not fully embraced "the wife" after 3 and 1/2 years!! Haha!
