Ha ha - Nutmeg is actually dangerous to humans and other animals in medium to large doses.
Thanks for re-informing readers that onions (all forms) and garlic are dangerous to your pets. So many people feed their pets foods that have onions or garlic in them not knowing the immediate harm they are putting their beloved pet in.
1also, don't give your dogs grapes or raisens (sp?), they can cause kidney failure even in small amounts.
2oh, and chicken bones. don't allow dogs to eat chicken bones. these bones splinter when they are broken up and can become lodged in your dogs intestines causing major discomfort, internal bleeding and even death.
3Grapes?! I didn't know grapes were bad... My dog eats grapes....
4ElleJay--grapes and raisins are bad for dogs as it poisons their kidneys (resulting in kidney failure) and messes with their gastrointestinal systems (causing diarrhea and vomiting). It doesn't take much either. Toxicity is anywhere between 9 oz. and 2 pounds.
5Thanks for the info! I avoid giving any human food in the first place, but it's good to know.
