 Dietary Indiscretions


 

Your pets can put on a convincingly adorable begging act, but some table scraps actually cause more harm than just a jiggly belly!  The following foods are against the Washington Poison Center's recommendations:

 

Alcohol

Avocados

Chocolate

Coffee (grounds, beans)

Fruit seeds

Garlic

Hops

Macadamia nuts

Moldy foods

Mushroom plants

Mustard seeds

Nutmeg

Onions & onion powder

Pits from apricots, cherries, and peaches

Plums

Raisins

Grapes

Potato leaves, stems, or any green parts

Rhubarb

Salt

Tea

Tomato leaves, stem

Walnuts

Yeast dough

 What can poison your pet?


 

A good standard to help you determine what substances can be toxic to animals is to remember that if it's dangerous for a small child, it's probably dangerous for your pet.  Keep items out of reach and in their original, labeled containers.
