Dangerous Foods for Dogs

With the Easter holiday upon us, I thought I'd share some foods that are dangerous to our four legged furry friends.  According to WebMD, here is a list of some of the foods that are not safe to feed pets:

• Avocado
• Alcohol (beer, liquor, wine, etc.)
• Onions and Garlic
• Coffee, Tea and other caffeine
• Grapes, Raisins, Persimmons, Peaches, Plums
• Milk and other Dairy Products
• Macadamia nuts, Candy, Gum, Chocolate
• Fat Trimmings and Bones
• Raw Eggs, Raw Meat, Raw Fish
• Salt, Sugary Foods and Drinks
• Yeast Dough
