What type of food can dogs eat that’s not dry dog food or canned dog food?
I need to know what type of food can dogs eat and what can’t they eat because I want to feed my dog food other than regular dried up food and canned food. For example, food that people eat. Please give me a website vetrerinarian approved that the food they can eat are good for them.
What is not good for them
Chocolate is highly toxic to dogs
The toxic compound in chocolate causes nervous system excitement which may lead to cardiac arrhythmias and death. 115kg of milk chocolate can cause symptoms in 15kg dog. Dark chocolate is even more potent
Onions, leek, garlic and chives
Onions cause a particular type of anemia due to damage to the red blood cells in dogs
the toxic dose can be as low as 15-30g/kg.
If fed at a greater then 0.5% of your animal’s body weight, toxic effects are always noted. A chihuahua would need 30g or more. A labrador of 30kg, would need 450g or more, however to be safe i would not include any in your dogs receipes. Other allium species can be toxic, such as leek, garlic and chives, but only in large amounts, which is why it is safe to fed a little garlic in some of the recipies.
Mushrooms
Do not allow your dog to eat wild mushrooms when out for a walk,there are many possible toxic effects and it is difficult to identify which mushrooms are safe.
Grapes
Grapes and raisin have recently been found to cause vomiting, shaking and acute renal failure.their toxic properties have not been fully examined.Best not to fed in any amount
Corn Cobs

especial those divided into smaller piecxes can be lethal to dogs. it is NOT that sweet corn is toxic in any way but the fact that dogs can swallow them whole. the cob becomes lodge in the intestines of the poor dog and has to be removed surgically.
