Reply #31: Onions?!? Toxic? It must mean raw onions, because mine get leftovers with cooked

onions all the time with no problems.

Raisins? Again I've had dogs who really like raisins, don't feed it like food, but they've always gotten a few when I've had some.

This list seems questionable on many levels. I agree too much of any of the above isn't good for dogs, but much of this list is very suspect to me considering how many dogs I've owned, all healthy into double digit years, and knowing that they've had some of any of the food products throughout their lives. Clearly I haven't fed them tobacco (who would?), nor gum or sugar-free stuff because I don't use them myself. Otherwise everything on the list, only giving poultry bones to my relaxed eating dogs (not the scarfing dogs) and only when no other pets are around to cause any rushed eating of bones. I treat all bones whether poultry or not the same way because truly any baked or cooked bones can shatter into splinters when dogs work on them.

If only there were lists like this for children. Seems anymore people are way more concerned with their pets' diets than their children's or their own.
