Many foods that we humans eat regularly can be harmful to our pets, including:

  • Chocolate (dark chocolate is more dangerous than milk chocolate)
  • Grapes/raisins
  • Alcohol
  • Coffee (caffeine)
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Onion/garlic/chives (more toxic to cats, but dogs are also at risk)
  • Salt or overly-salty food
  • Xylitol (found in many gums, candies, and some baked goods)
  • The seeds or pits of many fruits (apples, apricots, cherries, and peaches)
  • Yeast dough.
