One of the well known foods that is toxic to your dog is chocolate, but let us not forget there are many other foods that can be dangerous for them also. Grapes and raisons have been shown to cause renal failure, while macadamia nuts can go as far as causing paralysis. Onions and garlic contain something called thiosuphate which is toxic to not only dogs but cats as well. Cherries and apricots as well as peach, pear, plum, and apple seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides which can cause cyanide poisoning.
Another food many people don’t know can cause serious harm to your dog is bones. Especially cooked bones, after being cooked they tend to splinter, which can easily harm your dog by possibly puncturing or even getting stuck in the intestinal track.
