I can only speak for myself, but for me, it's about taking reasonable precautions without being overprotective. I find that it's easy for things to go on the Dangerous! List. Pretty much if you hear, don't feed this or that, it can KILL your dog, you stop using it and you probably pass the information along, even if there's not a lot to back it up. For me at least, at some point you have to draw the line, or your dog will never be allowed to eat or experience anything.

As an example, garlic is used to flavor many dog foods and is even recommended as a flavoring for picky eaters by trainers -- but it's now on the Dangerous! List, as are tomatoes. Most of our dogs probably drink flouridated water, since most cities put flouride in our tap water.

Different people will draw the line in different places.
