I knew about chocolate but not onions.

Also garlic, leek, chives, shallots and any plant in a lily family

And can you imagine the "doggy breath" after eating onions and/or garlic?

Add to the list citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit. They are too acidic for dogs to consume.

Dear Abby: A beautiful flower arrangement was delivered to me at my home today. While on the phone, I told my friend about the thoughtful gift and mentioned that my two cats wouldn’t leave it alone. She said, “I hope there aren’t any lilies in it!” There were, Abby — white oriental lilies. I Googled it and discovered they are very poisonous to cats, although not to other animals. When I called the florist, they claimed not to know. Thought your readers should!

Dear Loves: I agree. And thank you for sharing that information. I learned from my own Google search that lilies are not the only flowers that are poisonous for pets. Azaleas, daffodils, amaryllis, chrysanthemums, tulips, oleander, hyacinth, English ivy, sago palm, cyclamen, autumn crocus, widow’s thrill, hydrangea, aloe vera, caladium, pothos, philodendron, lily of the valley, castor bean, poinsettia, asparagus fern, peace lily and corn plants can be lethal as well. Kitty lovers, be warned!

Just google "foods poisonous to dogs" to get a surprisingly long list. The ones I was unaware of were macadamia nuts & caffeine. Not that I ever planned on having morning coffee with my dog, but at least I knew that if I ever spilled some, I had to wipe it up immediately & make sure the dog didn't get near it.

Check the labels...if it has XYLITOL in it...it could be deadly. Gum, baked goods & some peanut butters have it. Surprisingly, bacon is really bad for dogs too!
