...does your "Fido", "Spot" or "Fluffy" love to eat?
Oh yes! My Phoenix and Gracie will take whatever hits the floor. We try not to feed them too much "people" food, but my husband isn't the neatest eater/cooker and Phoenix knows it. He stands behind my husband and stares at the floor...sometimes he'll look up at him...and then look at the floor again. Funny...he doesn't do that to me! LOL! What about yours?
Hi,
Just a friendly reminder to keep abreast of the things dogs are allowed to eat as some things are deadly to dogs. I have had dogs for 50 years and am still surprised at the things being found which can permanently danger a dog. Raisins, grapes (I used to feed our dogs grapes!), chocolate, onions, etc. The list is quite long. Anything with Xylitol/etc. is extremely dangerous to dogs. Sigh! I keep an updated list in the house if there is any doubt in my mind. Our dogs love all vegetables and fruits so I need to be careful I don't give them anything harmful. Last summer, one of the dogs ate my spinach starts which were waiting to be planted in an above ground container.
You can find the lists by searching for "toxins for dogs".

Excellent points! We are ultra careful when it comes to these sorts of things. Even though Phoenix is always ready to grab whatever hits the floor...he knows the words "Leave It." And we usually shout those out if something he shouldn't eat is heading his way. Also, my mastiff, Gracie, got ahold of my turkey avocado sandwich from the counter and I immediately called the Emergency Vet. Apparently avocados are OK for dogs and there are a few dog foods made with avocados. How awesome is that??
I just sent you a reply to the pressure cooker! My email dinged and a reply from the dog food remark. Mmmmm. I can see me getting more behind. How many dogs do you have? We down to three now--a Golden, Rottie/Lab and a mini-Dachshund. The Golden is a male and has better food manners than the girls--they are real eaters and I have them all on strict food amounts, supplemented with veggies being tossed to them as I make salad. I'm glad to know about the avocados, as my Rottie got into my husband's plate which had abit leftover and I freaked as avos are on "the list". She was alright and I still can't figure why avocados would be on the list, but if she gets some, I won't be alarmed next time (hopefully, there will not be a next time). We have to put our food in the oven/micro/refrig (anwhere she can't get to it) if we need to leave the room.
