It's the "* foods without an asterisk are not poisonous but should only be eaten in small amounts of ever" and bacon doesn't have an asterisk, which confuses me. So bacon is poisonous to dogs?
This is probably just being extreme and calling the carcinogens that are in some bacon products (most in USA?) poisonous to dogs, when they're also poisonous to humans by that definition.
It’s more that bacon is so goddamn salty. It’s not that they can’t ingest bacon, it’s that their bodies will have to work really hard to deal with that amount of salt. It’s just horrible for them.
Although, this list is not really true. Spinach? I’m like 90% sure dogs can eat spinach. And they can eat cucumbers but not pickles?
Well, I guess that amount of vinegar is pretty dicey.
The biggest part of processed human food is the salt and sugar content. Neither of which are good for dogs. Give your dogs meat, some raw veg that isn’t a nightshade (avocados are also bad for them, their bodies can’t break down those complex fats), eggs, eggshells. These are all good. Processed and cooked foods are bad because of what we do to make it taste good to us.
My dog used to love spinach. We only gave him a few leaves on occasion, but it was his favorite food. He lived to be an old man dog. Miss him sometimes.
I wish there were more info on like how poisonous some of these are. Like, I would never intentionally give a dog chocolate, but if I'm eating like a chocolate cake or something and some crumbs get on the floor do I have to dive on it like a grenade to keep my hungry pupper off it, or is a crumb here and there fine?
Basically I just wanna know how panicked to be as a messy eater
I just meant that as an example, what about a single grape? One clove of garlic? The remains of a smashed tomato? Etc. Honestly if there was a 4 hour breakdown video detailing everything dogs shouldn't eat with explanations and details as to exactly why, I'd watch it. Probably a few times over.
