Yes...Steddy loves him some APPLES!

lol

Of course he gets tiny little pieces with NO skin or seeds

JillandJack · 11-16-2006, 07:32 AM

I find this post very helpful so I made it into a list. Can anyone add more to it?
1. Greenies
2. Rawhides
3. Tomatoes
4. Grapes
5. Onions
6. Garlic
7. Chocolate
8. Seeds from Apples oranges, etc.
9. Avacados
10. acetominiphin
11. Bleach Products
12. Raisins
13. Alcohol
14. Milk
15. Ham/salty meat products
16. Onions
17. Caffeine
18. Bones

If bones, rawhides and greenies are bad, what is okay to give them to chew on? Great informative post. I had seen a similar post awhile ago but it always good to be reminded.

I dont know if they are good or not. I dont buy Iams products since they do animal testing

I wouldn't recommend those..I gave one to my chi and when he was halfway done chewing it up he swalloed it..and you can't really tell when theyre going to swallow cause you can barely see it in their mouth cause its so small.

ARCHIE · 11-16-2006, 08:36 AM

Nylabone chew bones. They are not digestable and although the label states that small pieces the size of rice may come off, these small pieces can cause internal bleeding. I know, we've been through it.
Also, I just read that tomato's are not safe due to something in the tomato.
I can't remember what it was but NO to tomatoes also. Carol & Buddy

My vet said rule of thumb to go by in rawhides is no bigger around than your little finger for small dogs. That way if they get where they can break a chunk off it can pass through their system.. I let mine have them but I put them in holders and monitor them the whole time and throw away all small pieces. The chewing of them is good for cleaning their teeth.

Brookef18 · 11-16-2006, 03:35 PM

Bacon and anything with fat is not good for your babies. I guess they can't break down the fat in their systems...

Emmsmom · 11-16-2006, 07:40 PM

I had no idea rawhides were bad.. I give them to Diesel all the time!!

tomatoes and oranges ARE both bad for dogs the acid in them are way to high for our little ones. Also Lemons are bad 1 reason being the acid and 2 lemons break down the enamel on your/their teeth.

Dina_Nichole · 11-19-2006, 09:01 AM

So Nyla/nylon bones are bad?? My babies eat these all the time. Figuring out what is good and bad sure is a headache
