I hope pet owners read this. A lot of them really don't know how toxic some of these things are. Just because we can eat it ... it doesn't mean our pets should.

I thought Cheese was bad for Dogs also?

10. Milk
Because pets do not possess significant amounts of lactose (the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk), milk and other milk-based products cause them diarrhea or other digestive upset.

Some I dont agree with. My grandpa has fed his dog garlic for flea purposes for over 15 yrs everyday.

My very small dacshund once ate a solid chocolate easter bunny. Hell I couldnt have eaten that thing in one sitting but she sure did. No issues at all with her. Of course it wasnt on purpose. She found it on the kids nightstand and opened it right up and had a feast.

What about all the tainted kibble & stuff that's just processed corn, byproducts and chemicals? I don't see that on the list.

theres been a couple times my dog as eaten chocolate. Last year we went to a super bowl party and they had a big chocolate football cake they gave us like half of it to take home as it didnt go. my dog got into it when we throw it out and ate the rest of it. Also he just recently got a hold of peanutbutter cookies that have chocolate kisses on the top must have eaten 20-30 cookies at least just had some diarrhea for a day.

I think the list is focused on what humans eat that would most likely be passed on to the animals and the top 10 at that.

Guy I knew said he wormed his dog by letting him go hungry for a day. Next day, he'd put a whole garlic clove inside a ball of raw hamburger and toss it to him. Down in one gulp. The dog would get a funny look on his face for a moment, but that was it.
