I've known dogs who have liked beer. I never fed beer to dogs. But I've seen them enjoy it.

PSA: check the label before you give your dog peanut butter, whether as a treat or for meds, some brands use xylitol to sweeten. Be safe

Always interesting, how grapes AND raisins are on the no list. But I guess better that then to test the common sense of some people

Xylitol is HIGHLY toxic to dogs. That should be in a category all by itself. That shit is DEADLY.

Its in most gums and a fuckton of japanese candy-- i learned the hard way that xylitol is shit

Also garlic, leeks, and all the rest in the Allium genus. Plus rind, it's quite bad for their digestion.

Yup, gonna have to go with a big wrong-o-rino on the avocado. Avocado flesh is healthy and helps with dry skin.

Most dog food is kinda shitty, and the dog food that is actually decent costs an arm and a leg. Up until he died, I cooked my dog's meals 1/
every morning. Ground turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans. It took 5 minutes to make, and I didn't have to deal with anal gland issues 2/
anymore, because his diet was a lot better. Also, he fucking loved that shit, he always ate every bite of it. 3/3

Wtf is xylitol?
cyno01
Sugar free gum.
It's found in many/most sugar free products
It drops their blood sugar and causes marked hypoglycemia resulting in seizures and death because they can't process it.
2shortplanks
something that is in some brands of peanut butter which is on the okay list...
Good to know
mizmoose
A sugar alcohol. It breaks down in the intestines. Others (manitol, malitol) are used as both sweeteners & baby laxatives. Fun times!
Just make sure not to get the 2 confused :) thanks
If you consume enough *itol (still used in some "sugar-free" foods) you will find out why it's a baby laxitive.
thecontractor
Artificial sweetener. Found in a lot of gum and candy and stuff.
raidleadergutts
Gum shouldn't even be there as it's not food and shouldn't be eaten by anything to begin with.

Recommended to just stay away from all of these so you don't unknowingly cause health problems for your pets.

I've talked to vets that say garlic can help with fleas. Can't be that bad

Its in small amounts though. Not every day either.

1) never go to those vets again. 2) yes it can be that bad.
In small amounts not everyday its fine for fleas and ticks. All my families dogs live to be 16-18 years.
Holy crap, no. No, no, no. Do not give veterinary advice when you aren't a veterinarian.

Can humans consume dairy? I was born lactose intolerant, so that means milk is toxic to humans.
ZachsAnomaiy
Mammals are lactose intolerant; it is a survival mechanism that forces toddlers to wean. 12,000 years ago, that changed for some humans.
A very few tribes of humans evolved to maintain lactase production as adults. Most humans are still intolerant.
My example was meant to show how what's bad for an individual doesn't say much about what's fine for the majority.
RussianMoofinsStoleMyName
They're basically all dependent on the dog.
or the dose.
False, there has been no info showing that different breeds or ages affect whether grapes are toxic to dogs. Size is a factor but that means
I'm not saying the breed, I'm saying the dog itself
a pommie might die from a couple grapes but a great dane might take a handful.

DxnM
is that all it is? who would just give a full avocado to a dog???
Avocado contains a toxin called persin, but despite the rumors, avocado is not poisonous to dogs. In fact avocados can be good for dogs.
TrumpsTinyFingers
It's probably just in excess. A little fat trimming or a grape now and then is probably fine, but a lot at once could make them sick.
Also really depends on size/breed of the dog
Thomassen
No grapes please. :( A friend's dog ate ONE grape and then suffered kidney failure. It's barely a year old.
whyexactly
Grapes cause long term problems, not immediate ones IIRC
Grapes are actually a hard No still. They still don't know exactly what substance in grapes they are toxic to but it is a high enough level
that one or two grapes could give a small dog acute kidney failure. Chocolate, fat trimmings, a few other things, they can get away with a
bit here n there. Giving dogs grapes is literally like giving a person cyanide and assuming it wasn't enough to kill them.
is that why the duck wanted them?

She'll probably be ok this time. But seriously, please don't do it in the future. I'm a vet & this is what I tell all my clients every day.
Yeah, google just filled me in. I thought fat was good for a dogs coat. Guess it's an exclusively kibble diet from now on.
EricAlexanderLamb
On a regular basis maybe but once while my dog enjoys a good steak
One fatty meal can put a dog into necrotizing pancreatitis. Not every time, but why in the hell would you risk your dog's life?
Cheomesh
Jesus how fucked up was our breeding program that a carnivore can't eat fat
Dogs aren't carnivores, for starters.
True. One piece of fat every now and then likely won't kill them. My dogs get them
Except for the time it causes pancreatitis and you end up with a several thousand dollar vet bill to save their life. Why risk it?
Never ever.
Exercise, does a dog wonders
I'm a veterinarian. Gastritis, colitis, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis... Don't feed fat trimmings.
And i've had dogs for over 50 years.
It's a treat not a staple
All of these things are far more heavily correlated with dog foods high in corn than fat or meat.
Where did you come up with that?

I'm a veterinarian. Gastritis, colitis, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis... Don't feed fat trimmings.
