Chocolate – Contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and even death.
Grapes and Raisins – Can cause kidney failure in dogs, though the exact toxin is still unknown.
Onions and Garlic – These can damage a dog’s red blood cells and cause anemia.
Xylitol (artificial sweetener) – Found in sugar-free gum, candies, and baked goods, it can lead to low blood sugar and liver failure.
Alcohol – Even small amounts can cause vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and central nervous system depression.
Avocado – Contains persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs.
Macadamia Nuts – These can cause weakness, tremors, and hyperthermia.
Caffeine – Found in coffee, tea, and energy drinks, caffeine can cause restlessness, rapid breathing, heart palpitations, and even death.
Raw dough or yeast – The dough can expand in the stomach and release alcohol, causing alcohol poisoning.
Cooked bones – They can splinter and cause choking or internal injuries.
