How to Keep Your Home Healthy and Pet-Friendly

Dining Room: Other Dangerous Foods

It seems that everyone knows not to feed their pooch a chocolate cake, but there are other “people foods” that are much more dangerous for your pets. Grapes, raisins, and currants can cause kidney failure in dogs, even in small doses. In larger amounts, onions and garlic can result in severe anemia, especially in cats. Be sure to keep these foods, along with onion and garlic powders, away from your pets. Nuts, especially macadamia nuts, can cause temporary paralysis in animals.
