I'd like to have a list of all the foods that are harmful to dogs and
why arranged like this:

Chocolate: poisonous, affects central nervous system and heart
Onions: poisonous, causes liver damage, vomiting, diarhea, discoloured urine

(not necessarily only poisonous foods either)

Thanks!

This is great - exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks so much.

This should be an interesting list ...

If a dog lover (tlspiegel-ga?) jumps on board.

Great List, O Winged One!

Years ago I decided that canned dog food was absurdly expensive
relative to Corned Beef so I started feeding Daisy on the stuff that I
always enjoy.

BIG MISTAKE!

It did not suit her at all.

Dunno if it was 'poisonous' but it sure didn't suit her and I later
discovered that the makers of Dog Food really go to a Wonderlot of
trouble to get their formulations right for our doggie friends.

It's actually the theobromine in chocolate that is dangerous. It's
closely related to caffeine.

As for tobacco-- years ago before fancy deworming treatments, to get
rid of intestinal worms you fed your dog a plug of chewing tobacco.
Nicotine killed the worms.

For Goodness' sake, do NOT try this at home!

Thanks Bryan!

Thanks for the kind words, the 5 stars and for the generous tip! :)
