Toxic fruits and veggies
Grapes and raisins - can cause acute renal failure.

Apple. pear, peach and cherry seeds - these seeds contain small amounts of cyanide

Onions, garlic chives - can lead to anemia, seizure, liver and kidney problems and other issues

Avocado - can cause vomiting and diarreha

Tomatoes - can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias

Other unsafe food

Chocolate - can cause seizures, coma and death.

Caffeine - causes many of the same symptoms as chocolate

Macadamia Nuts - can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis

Nutmeg - can cause tremors, seizure and death.

I agree that with all of the chemicals and additives in commercially prepared dog food that it's difficult to find treats you feel comfortable offering to your little one. I offer Chloe a wide variety of fruits and veggies and not only is she happy but shes healthy and I never have to worry about her treats being recalled lol

Hope this helps

Ahi loves fresh fruits and veggies. She esp. loves plums, nectarines, and her favorite is MANGO!
