The more I love dogs
TOXIC FOR YOUR DOG :
Everyone knows there are certain things that one should NEVER feed his dog. DOgS and CHOCOLATE
don't mix because chocolate contains theobromine, a substance that causes rapid heart rate and central nervous stimulation, probably leading to seizure and even death.

Dogs should never be fed with cooked bones because they can splinter and lodge in or even lacerate a dog's throat or digestive tract.

Caffeine is found in coffee, coffee grounds, tea or tea leaves, colas, stimulant drinks and in some medicines. Signs of caffeine overdose may include labored or rapid breathing, hyperactivity, a rapid heart rate, shaking and finally seizure.
RAISINS AND GRAPES:
Eating raisins or grapes cause renal failure in some dogs ! It seems that as few as seven raisins can lead to a shutdown of kidneys. Symptoms are vomitting, diarrhea and shaking .
ONIONS :
An overdose of onions can also cause toxicity in dogs that can prove fatal.
Signs may include listlessness, lack of interest in food, labored breathing.
GARLIC :
Garlic also pose problems for dogs as it contains thiosulfate which produce acute toxicity .
AVOCADO :
Avocado plants , and the avocado fruit itself, contain persin , a substance that can cause vomitting and diarrhea in dogs.
APPLE SEEDS :
Although apples are not toxic but the seeds of the fruit contain cyanide and may be dangerous. Likewise, the pits of peaches and plums contain cyanide and can be toxic.
