Thake care of your pets - they dont know any better. its up to you.
this is something all pet owners should know, chocolate is also toxic to dogs. That's why they make dog food. I do not ever feed my animals people foods except for chicken.

Yes, a lot of pet owners need to know a lot more than they do. They also have to understand that dog food, if not a premium, is not good for their health either.

that is so sad, i never put food or candy in reach of my pets. think of it like having a baby crawling around your house. People need to pet proof too.

The reason a lot of dogs die young are because people feed them human food.

Ok, It was said a lot on this forum that peoples food is not good for dogs. Ok, peoples "process" food is not good for dogs. Whole, natural food is good for dogs. Chocolate is not natural, pizza is not natural. Dogs can eat apples, chese, carotts, beets, chicken...list is long. I aleady posted ingredients from "dogs" food on this forum. "dogs" food can cause cancer. Some of the ingredients that end up in commercial pet foods are truly shocking. What’s more, many of these will not appear on the label and others are hidden under umbrella terms such as ‘meat meal’ and ‘meat by-products’. How can this happen? The pet food industry is highly unregulated.
