Just because he will eat it, doesn't mean he should !



Ok, we have all known a "garbage disposal" dog or two
 that could and did eat everything without any problems...
but these foods are ones that are generally
 NOT reccomended as treats for Fido!  
             Got a curious kid or hungry pet? 
Many potted plants and cut flowers are toxic !
 While most house pets and children don't 
 regularly munch on plants, it's still a good idea
 to put these in a harder to reach place !
• Aloe Vera.
• Asian Lily
• Asparagus Fern
• Begonia
• Baby's Breath
• Calla Lily
• Corn Plant
• Cycads (Sago Palm, Fern Palm)
• Daffodil and Tulip bulbs
• Geranium
• Jade Plant
• Pencil Cactus
• Ribbon Plant
 (Corn Plant, Cornstalk Plant, 
Dracaena, Dragon Tree)


*Avocado and Guacamole
*Excessive amounts of fat trimmings, bones (especially the kinds that "splinter" when chewed)
*Human vitamins and /or iron supplements
*Liver in large amounts (yes dogs love it and its a good treat, but it contains iron oxide which can't be digested by dogs! )
*pear pips, apple core pips, kernels of plums, peaches, apricots -- contain cyanogenic glycosides which can result in cyanide poisoning ! 
*rhubarb Leaf
*mushrooms
*potato peelings
*moldy or spoiled foods
