I have four cats.

I hope for your sake you don't go near them.

I had a dog that would eat coconuts, avacodos and blackberrys. Probably would have scarfed grapes too if there had been any around.

Macademia nuts are toxic to dogs, too, at least temporarily.

My dachshund once got up on the table and ate about half a can. Not only was she sick to her stomach for days, but it caused temporary muscle weakness...she couldn't walk without stumbling. Very scary stuff.

Luckily it wore off after a few days.

Hi RA. I agree, eating the cotton candy would have been neat to see.

Dogs can't digest the cocoa in chocolate, so it causes severe gastrointestinal problems. Onions are also toxic for dogs.

Chocolate is harmful to dogs. It contains a chemical that their livers can't process. I give my dog carob drops from PetSmart.

I used to give him grapes. He could have eaten a whole bunch in one sitting if I had let him - he loved them so much. Then I read in Reader's Digest that grapes are harmful to dogs - damages either their liver or kidneys; so that treat was immediately stopped. Nowadays I won't even buy grapes for myself because I don't want him to beg for them.

I've read that onions are very bad for dogs. Mine loves, loves raw carrots.

I'll use marshmallows to give my dog pills.

My dogs, George and Kramer, chewed the cover off an old Springsteen album, then they peed on the record

Your dogs have good taste. :)

Our dog loves potatoes also. But that's probably because we have potatoes with every meal. Damn Irish boyfriend.

"Raw chicken bones will not hurt a dog. Its not the chocolate its the caffein in it. If no caffein then no problem. Cooked chicken bones are not digestible. A splintered leg bone can pierce a gut and kill your dog. These are FACTS"


Well as long as you don't tell my dog your facts, I don't think there'll be any problem. He's been eating (cooked) chicken bones for four years. And the way he goes through Turkey bones is awesome !!. He is definetly into thanksgiving dinners. Just the Facts.....Out of curiousity, How much longer should I expect to wait for him to finally croak from swallowing that 1 pound solid chocolate bunny I gave him last Easter ?

"Bones also got caught on roof of his mouth"


Only thing I ever see get stuck in his mouth are Porcupine Quills. Now those do seem to be a problem. Nothing else however seems to phase him.

My parents' dog once ate a 5 lb box of See's candies. He was pooping those crinkly wrappers for days. But he lived!

One time, I walked out of the room for a minute, and my poodle polished off my Poppycock.

Sounds pervy.
