fortune Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have read about some of these before but haven’t heard about the garlic and the onions. I’ve got two Springer’s and last Christmas the older one managed to open the tin of Quality Street and eat most of the contents. Silver foil rapped dog *****. The dog was a bit hyper for a couple of days with Count Dracula bloodshot eyes at 40,000 feet but it hasn’t seemed to do the dog any harm. It still races about and is just as much of a lunatic as it was before. The dog likes chocolate all the more and has turned into a real choc-o-holic. We have to be really watchful when there’s any about. I read on an American site a warning from a gardener whose dog ate some waste chocolate husk that was used for some sort of fertilizer and it didn’t do the dog any favours.

casts_by_fly Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I had heard all but the macadamia nuts. Caffeine and alcohol do the same in dogs as they do people, except your dog is a lot smaller and has a lot less fat to absorb the toxins. My dog doesn't get any of the below except for the occasional cooked onion in something we've had for dinner. Dark chocolate is a lot worse than milk. If the dog eats a normal candy bar I'm not concerned. If she were to get a 75% cocoa bar (first I'd wonder where she found it since I dont't like them) I'd keep an eye on her.

Cranfield Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Very small pieces , or preferably pureed, fruit is very good for your dogs, with the exception of grapes, or any of the citrus fruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Based on the original post I have been poisioning mine for years Same as that. I used to feed Glenn grapes for years, something different only the odd one and he loved them. That's why I posted really, never thought they could do any harm. Our dogs would'ce got the odd bit of choc as well and I'm sure onions and garlic in leftovers as well. I think it's a case of all things in moderation John. BTW I got the garlic link through a popular working dog site that and many member use it to counter worms. I check all the dogs stools and have never seen any signs of worms. When I mentioned it to my vet she agreed that it is a good holistic treatment but only to be used in moderation. I use a segment every other day for each dog.

potshot Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I keep being told (based on completely un proven statistics) that if I spey all my bitches they wont get mamary tumours. I suppose if the put them all down they can't get anythings. I think this is rule 24 in the RSPCA guide and rules 1 to 1 million in the PETA handbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustyfox Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I am just guessing its the breed and size of the dog that these food affects. Mean look at humans some of us cant eat peanuts, pineapple and other foods. So i do think some of this Stuff is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
