I've heard that also.
I've also heard that garlic contains sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Garlic may cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Cats are more susceptible than dogs.
Raw bones are okay. Cooked bones can splinter and can become lodged, or impale / slice any internal organs they might encounter along the way...
Does this mean at a single sitting? I'm curious about the source of that information. That would mean an average size Labrador retriever could safely eat 4 pounds of chocolate.
I trust that a 144 pound young woman would not eat 9 pounds of chocolate. Although when I see some of the young women today, I realize I may be incorrect.
If the lady liked Godiva chocolate at $38 a pound, the cost would be nearly $350.00.
I think chicken bones are a problem for puppies. We got a puppy recently and keep chicken bones away from her as they’re pretty small. I don’t see the problem about adult dogs eating chicken bones.
