Foods, Plants, and Other Things Our Dogs Can't Eat

Judea, our deaf dog, who loves to run, play, cuddle, and take walks.

If you are anything like me, I read, read, read, and read some more to make sure that I am doing everything that I possibly can to keep my precious Judea safe and healthy. Having her live the longest and healthiest life is my ultimate goal, wanting her with me for many years to come. And I’ll do anything to make that happen. Often, I come across articles with great information about the food or plant items that pose dangers and have been offered a comprehensive list by Chinaza Ekwuribe, “All things dog and beautiful,” to share with everyone. I hope that you find this as a fast, go-to guide. Be sure to visit the complete article which gives great supplemental information on each item.

“There are none so deaf than those who refuse to listen.”
