Some foods are dangerous for dogs even in small amounts. This guide covers the main ones and what to do.

Never feed these

Grapes and raisins, onions and garlic (fresh, cooked or powdered), chocolate and cocoa, xylitol, macadamia nuts, and alcohol. Check the ingredient list of anything containing these.

If your dog has eaten one

Do not wait for symptoms. Call your vet or an animal poison hotline right away, and have the packaging or the food to hand. Symptoms can be delayed, so a dog that seems fine still needs checking.

This guide is not veterinary advice. In an emergency, call your vet or an animal poison hotline first.
