Many common human foods can be dangerous for dogs.

Chocolate, grapes, raisins, avocado, onions, and garlic are all toxic and can cause serious health issues like kidney failure, stomach upset, or damage to red blood cells.

Even a small bite can be harmful. When in doubt, skip the table scraps and stick to dog-safe treats made just for them 🐶
