As dog owners, we always want to ensure our fur family members are as healthy as possible. While it might be tempting to share certain foods for dogs that are less than ideal or even feed your pups scraps from the table, it’s important to know that some human foods can be harmful to dogs.
In fact, there are several common foods that can not only cause upset stomachs in dogs, but can also be toxic and even deadly.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of the bad foods that you should avoid giving to your dog.

Dog owners all have different rules as what to feed their best friends, but there are bad foods for dogs which can be extremely harmful.

As owners, we might eat these foods and not give them to our dogs. However, it’s just as important to ensure you have stored these foods away properly.
Remember that dogs (even small ones) can jump on tables and counter tops.
Especially when you aren’t at home, they have to the opportunity to work on trying to jump up and get to those grapes or chocolate sitting on the counter or table top. Do yourself and your dog a favor by storing it in the refrigerator.
Notez que les chiens peuvent aussi avoir d'autres allergies alimentaires. J'ai été très surprise de découvrir que mon chien, un Bichon Havanais, a beaucoup d'allergies. Il est allergique à l'herbe (mais il essaie quand même d'en manger). Il a également eu une mauvaise réaction allergique au maïs.
