I've seen bones mentioned a few times, and I'm not sure I agree with this 100%...COOKED bones are very bad to give dogs because they can splinter, but RAW bones are actually really good for them. The marrow is especially good for them since it's filled with lots of nutrients and the bone gives them calcium. As long as the bone is big enough that they won't choke, and you take it away before it gets too small, I think it's ok. That's my opinion anyway...

My yorkie is 8 months old and chews like crazy. If nylabones are bad, what is a good alternative that I can give her??

chestermama · 11-20-2006, 08:33 PM

raisins, macademia nuts, cow hooves very hard it can break teeth

Danielle_82 · 11-21-2006, 04:14 AM

Another one to remember especially with the holidays coming up is turkey skin, I cant remember why but I remember hearing it was another bad one for dogs.

My yt just loves red delicious apple bits. I try not to give her too much so it does not upset her tummy.

and no seeds. that is very dangerous.

I thought the nyla-bones are good. Are they good or bad? I give Max those little carrots - they come prepeeled, washed, etc. A couple of time a day, I just pop one out of the fridge and he's so happy. They also keep for a long time in a container in the fridge. He also loves apple pieces to chew on. They're healthy and very good for him to chew on. I also just stick to flossies and some other Merrick chew stick - I forget the name. I have to be very careful with him because he seems to have a delicate stomach, so I keep it simple. He loves Happy Hips - those are his treats for when he goes on the paper, and I buy him simple, organic treats - nothing spicy or with too many ingredients. I found something called Bijon's Friches - swet potato fries for dogs - the only ingredient is sweet potatoes.

He also eats only dog food, except for a drop of my morning oatmeal, so we share Mommy's breakfast. I find this makes his stomach behave and my life easier.

Shelby&Seymour · 11-23-2006, 05:06 PM

Let's not forget POINSETTA PLANTS! They are so pretty this time of the year.... but VERY dangerous for animals and small children. Could be fatal if eaten!

annaschaben · 11-23-2006, 05:36 PM

There are tons of house plants that are not good for dogs. And pretty much any plant that comes from bulbs are not good, lillies, tulips iris

yorkiegirl2 · 11-24-2006, 07:58 AM

Here is also info on other bad things your furkids can get into..
including metals, pesticides, solvents and other chemicals, and bacterial, animal, and plant-derived toxins.

MISTLETOE is bad also I have attached the article:

PET POISON TIP: NO CATS & DOGS UNDER THE MISTLETOE, PLEASE!
While it may be nice to run into your sweetie under this traditional holiday plant, mistletoe can be potentially toxic to our animal companions.

Found throughout the United States, American mistletoe is actually a parasitic plant that lives off a variety of different tree species. If ingested in large enough quantities, mistletoe can potentially produce gastrointestinal irritation in pets, excessive thirst and urination, a drop in blood pressure and heart rate, seizures, coma and even death. According to our experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), however, most animal ingestions involve small quantities—not more than the amount found in a sprig or two—and typically result in mild stomach upset that resolves with little or no treatment.

Remember, if you suspect that your pet has ingested a potentially toxic substance, contact your local veterinarian or the APCC at (888) 426-4435. For more pet poison prevention tips, visit ASPCA.org.
