5 Things Not to Feed Your Dog or Cat

You've probably heard that chocolate is bad for dogs, but that is not all that can harm your pet. I was alarmed to read in "How the Doctor Almost Killed Her Dog" about all of the common human medicines and foods that can be very harmful to pets. Here's a list you'll want to remember to avoid:

1. Ibuprofen/Motrin
2. Acetaminophen/Tylenol
3. Dark chocolate
4. Grapes and raisins
5. Onions
6. Macademia nuts
7. Xylitol and other artificial sweeteners

From kidney failure to damaging the central nervous system, we have to remember our pets are not humans.
