I am very careful about the food I feed my dogs. However, when I was growing up, all our dogs ever ate was leftovers from our table and maybe a little dog food. Our dogs ate everything and lived for years. I can remember having several Cockers, Boxers, German Shepards, Fox Terriers. Maybe dogs were tougher back then.
Now that I have read the list of things that dogs can't eat, I am a little paranoid. One of the ladies that works for me said yesterday her tiny toy poodle had eaten a whole supersize candy bar. I asked her if he was alright. She said he was fine that it wasn't the first one he had eaten. She said one time he got into a box of cherry chocolates and ate all of them and spit the cherries out on the floor.
Another employee said her dog, a beagle had got up on the table and ate about 12 chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and never showed any signs of being sick, etc. They both said they were just mad at their dogs for eating their cupcakes - candybars. |
