Human food for dog

and grapes also come in the form of raisins and sultanas which can be worse because the chemical is more concentrated.

Avoid any chocolate, that's the best idea.
The darker the chocolate the more toxic it can be and there is no antidote. Been there, done that on Christmas Day! an accident and fortunately they were diabetic chocs........I don't recommend having to phone the vet on CD afternoon!

My dog once ate a full box of thorntons continentals years ago one Christmas. She looked very pleased with herself, but no ill effects.

My mum once had a puppy who adored onions. She would hunt them out to eat them and the guys on the veg stall always gave her one when we went shopping

One dog I had ate two pound of roses/quality street on Christmas Eve, a trip to the vet in a panic, he was fine, apart from the multi coloured poo for a few days - he ate the wrappers as well

Yes it's best to be aware of what foods are not good for dogs, but the odd accidental feed isn't the end of the world

All my dogs were given full Sunday dinners and most days their kibble was topped up with veg and meat/fish scraps

There are so many contrasting opinions on what you should/shouldn't feed your dog.

Like others have mentioned above we avoid grapes, raisins, chocolate, spicy foods and that kind of thing.

I think the main thing to think about is the amount of food. People tend to feed their dogs their 'normal' food, as well as giving their tit bits to the dog.

We've all been there when we're eating and they give us those puppy dog eyes.

I think all dogs are different and you know your dog better than anyone else does.

We used to have a Jack Russell. On Sundays after having a roast, my husband used to make up a dinner for her with meat, potatoes, gravy, veg, even yorkshire pudding sometimes. There wasn't any onion in it though.

Our dog loves bhoona, she even follows the plates into the dishwasher to "clean" them (yes she gets told off for it).

I would be very careful with anything with a high fat or salt content.
Our dog managed to get hold of some pork pie which gave him pancreatitis and he was hospitalised. Also, anything with seeds.

My dog gets the dry kibble and won't eat it on its own, but put a slice of chicken or beef on top and it eats the lot.

Mine have a base of JWB biscuits and then exactly the same as us, we eat out the slow cooker a lot, fresh meat and veg and they love fish aswell.

They share a fudge bar on a weekend when we fuel up at the garage and on sunday we go to the beach, followed by a maccie D's breakfast and then in the evening we have a full roast.

My Bulldog has to have his veg cut up small or he wont eat it but other than that they both eat really well.

They eat exactly what we do except obviously the things they shouldn't ie grapes , raisins,etc.

My dog only gets dog food as her breed has a tendancy to get very overweight so I'm pretty vigilant about what she eats. She also gets a dodgy tummy if she has anything else so she's much more settled on a very controlled diet. That said, she is a prime scavenger on walks so it doesn't always go to plan!

Previous dogs have had scraps (sensible ones) to no ill effect though. If your dog s a healthy​ weight and condition and doesn't have problems digesting what you give then it's probably absolutely fine.
