  1. Your dogs are pretty big so it would take alot. Our was a little guy and he ate a bunch of them. It is really scary having a dog just pass out with his eyes rolled in the back of his head. We ended up taking him to an emergency vet clinic where he got a blood transfusion. Those places aren't cheap to start.
  2. 1. Bones: It seems counter-intuitive, we know, but bones are bad for dogs. Carmela Stamper, D.V.M., a veterinarian in the Center for Veterinary Medicine at the FDA, said, “Bones are unsafe, no matter what their size. Giving your dog a bone may make your pet a candidate for a trip to your veterinarian’s office later, possible emergency surgery or even death. Make sure you throw out bones from your own meals in a way that your dog can’t get to them.” 2. Raw or undercooked turkey: One reason: salmonella bacteria. You can get sick from handling raw food, and even though you may believe your dog’s stomach is iron-clad – it’s not. 3. Turkey skin: Seems harmless enough, right? It’s just the skin. But, as blogs.dogtime.com puts it, “High-fat foods, such as turkey skin and gravy, can be hazardous to your dog. Since the skin is hard to digest, it can lead to pancreatitis (symptoms are vomiting, extreme depression, reluctance to move and abdominal pain).” The skin isn’t good for you either, so it’s best to throw it away and make more room for the mashed potatoes and gravy. 4. Dough and cake batter: It may sound like an urban legend, but the combination of raw dough and your dog’s body heat can actually cause the dough to rise inside his stomach. Bestbullysticks.com says this can result in vomiting, severe abdominal pain and bloating. Not to mention that the batter used in cakes and pies has raw eggs, which could contain salmonella bacteria. If you’re making a cake or pie, make sure your dog is not in the kitchen and, clean up any scraps or droppings that hit the floor right away. 5. Beer: Dogs love beer – well, mine do – but this doesn’t mean you should share a cold one with your dog. Beer can really do a number on your dog’s stomach. “Alcohol, especially the hops in beer, can be particularly harmful to dogs, causing intoxication, panting, fever, racing heart, liver damage, even coma, seizures and death,” according to bestbullysticks.com. 6. Walnuts and macadamia nuts: These two nuts in particular are very bad for your dog. In fact, they could cause a toxic reaction called macadamia nut toxicosis. Dogblogtimes.com says, “Within twelve hours of eating the nuts, dogs can start to develop symptoms such as an inability to stand, ataxia (walking wobbly), depression, vomiting, muscle tremors, hyperthermia (elevated body temperature), weakness and an elevated heart rate. Usually the symptoms go away within 48 hours but the weakness, vomiting and fear can lead to dangerous, and sometimes deadly, shock.” 7. Mushrooms: Fungi are good for you, but bad for your dog. Should your dog ingest mushrooms, you can expect a slew of unwelcome symptoms that could become quite severe. Bestbullysticks.com says mushrooms can damage a number of internal organs, including kidneys, liver and the central nervous system. If your dog eats mushrooms, you can expect seizures, coma, vomiting and possibly death. 8. Onions and garlic: These two culprits are always on the list of foods your dog should not eat and for very good reason. They make your dog sick, period. Here’s why: These ingredients contain sulfides, which are toxic to dogs and can cause the destruction of red blood cells leading to Heinz body anemia. 9. Sage: This multi-purpose herb is used in countless recipes and for cleansing a new home, but to a dog, sage is bad. It contains essential oils and resins that can upset a dog’s stomach and do a number on his central nervous system. 10. Nutmeg: Nutmeg is a sneaky spice. Found in sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkin pie and most desserts, nutmeg has mild hallucinogenic properties that when ingested by your dog can cause, “seizures, tremors and central nervous system problems. In severe cases, shock and death have been reported,” according to blogs.dogtime.com. Note that both pumpkin and sweet potatoes are good for your dog; just make sure no nutmeg is on them before you share them with your dog. It didn’t make our list, but chocolate is very, very bad for dogs. It’s not on the list because it should be a given for every pet parent – don’t feed your dog chocolate. The best way to keep your dog safe is to have plenty of his food on hand as well as treats. Also, ask your guests not to feed your dog human food. And give your dog plenty of exercise. A tired dog is a good dog.
  3. With Thanksgiving and other holidays just around the corner I want to remind you guys to keep an eye on your pets. We almost lost one of our dogs a few years ago because he got in the trash and ate onions that we're thrown away. The have the same effect as chocolate and raisins. We tend to get distracted with family and don't always think to keep an eye on our four legged friends. Make sure you properly dispose of turkey bones, take trash out as soon as possible, and keep an eye on kids who think rover wants to share their dessert.
