When I was growing up in New Hampshire, our dog doubled as our garbage disposal. She was my conspirator in my ongoing scheme to rid myself of unsavory dinnertime vegetables and would eat whatever I offered when my dad’s attention was diverted.

While it's OK to give some foods to pets, there are others that should be avoided at all costs. Please give the following list a good read.
