IMO dogs are carnivorous animals, I give my dogs all kinds of steak and stuff, they rarelly even touch their dog food. They starve if i dont give them their normal food. IMO the dog food is just a lab made food with all kinds of vitamins with no taste or something...Well that's my opinion tho...

I don’t give my dog any people food just to be sure. Someone gave him food at a party we had last month that he could not digest, and I had to take him to the vet. I know veggies are good for dogs so I just buy him Delectable Delights stews where you can see them in the gravy. My rule of thumb is stick to a trusted natural brand like Natural Balance and you don’t have to worry.

Raisins are very bad for pets too

Just feed then a good and healthy quality dog food and there's nothing to worry about. A little meat now and then, and if you feed them pasta, ya gotta sprinkle a little cheese on it. My former dog BB would not eat it without the cheese. I would put it on the floor without the cheese, then he would look at me like saying " What's up with this, where's the Parmesan ! " )

Macadamia nuts are absolutely deadly to dogs. I've heard 6 nuts are sufficient to kill any sized dog. Frightful!

Thanks for the info. I never let my dogs have any kind of nuts but didn't realize how deadly they can be.

Raisins/grapes can cause kidney failure. I own labs, and our vet is mainly Labs only. The problem with feeding certain human foods is their pancreas' cannot digest the fats in the food making the dog sick. I give very limited things. Veggies such as carrots raw are a great snack, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken and beef are all vet approved . Otherwise I dont feed them anything, except the crust off toast and the very rare pancake :)

I have heard too that grapes and raisins are bad. I had a dog that we unfortunatley let have people food and he (a lab mix) developed pancreantitis and I spent $150 a month putting enzymes on his food so he could digest his food otherwise he would have starved to death cause he could not get the nutrients out of his food. Lesson learned and I gladly paid the money for him cause I loved that dog. Our current dogs get occasional cottage cheese on their dog food, pizza crust rarely and mashed potatoes

I think grapes should also be added to the list.

Why do I see onions on the ingredients list of many grocery store dog foods?

Dry kibble should also be added to the this list.

Are you saying dogs should not be fed dry food? Do you suggest dogs be fed only canned food? I give my dogs a little canned food on top of their dry but I think they need some hard food to chew on and since I have 3 dogs, two of which weigh 85 pounds and 1 14 pound and I would go broke trying to feed them all canned food.
