| LOL she really licked it?? I can't even lick it without making a face!! I wonder what Peanut would do.. I found this comment, this is the lady owns that website: There are many foods that when provided in moderation (to a dog) have many health benefits, but when provided in large amounts can have less than beneficial effects...for example: - Garlic (http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blog...enefits.html); - Fats (http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blog...omega-6.html); and so on - Fish, eggs, organ meats, etc. (Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer: Foods That Dogs and Cats Should Not Eat, Foods That Require Caution - Dangerous, Toxic, Lethal) The key is to provide these foods within a threshold where the food retains its healthful contributions - just as we would approach foods in the human diet. So, when fresh lemon or other fresh citrus is added to the daily diet in reasonable amounts toxicity is not an issue. If instead your dog drinks a couple of tablespoons of lemon oil - I would say you truly have something to worry about. All of my dogs eat a little citrus on a daily basis, they also eat garlic on a daily basis. The ASPCA also lists dairy products as a food that dogs should not eat. One has to wonder where they did there research. Dogs have for 1000's of years eaten 'people' food including dairy products such as kefir and yogurt (Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer: Foods, Rich in Probiotics - Beneficial For Your Dog and Cat, hard cheese, cottage cheese. My dogs eat (in reasonable beneficial quantities) yogurt hard cheese and cottage cheese every day. My dogs (My Pack, Dog, Cat, Rabbit, Pack, Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer) are very healthy :>) The ASPCA also lists raw meat as dangerous for dogs - funny that raw meat is a species appropriate food for dogs. It is not that raw meat id bad for dogs, it is that when the raw meat is not stored and handled properly it can BECOME a source of e-coli, etc. Prior to the 1950's when most dog's ate 'people' food dog's lived twice the life span that they live now. I find it ironic that the ASPCA does not include on their list of foods that are bad for dogs - items such as... - Ethoxyquin (http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blog...nger-do.html); - GMO Corn and soy (Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer: Corn and Soy are Very Bad for Your Dog’s (Cat’s) Short and Long Term Health) -The many ingredients listed in this article (Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer: Is the Prescription Dog (Cat) Food Sold in Veterinarian’s Offices Good or Bad for Your Dog (Cat)? Hill’s Prescription Diet, Royal Canine Veterinary Diet, Purina Veterinary Diet, etc.) - And the many ingredients (approved by the FDA and AFCO) listed in this article (http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blog...r-dog.html)and all commonly found in Dry and Wet commercially manufactured dog and cat food. In my opinion a proper list of dangerous foods for dog should be based on common sense, logic and a proper explanation such as this one is Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer: Foods That Dogs and Cats Should Not Eat, Foods That Require Caution - Dangerous, Toxic, Lethal As well the ASPCA fails to mention all of the toxins commonly included in dog care products such as dental chews, toothpaste (Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer: Foods That Dogs and Cats Should Not Eat, Foods That Require Caution - Dangerous, Toxic, Lethal) and shampoo (Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer: Dog, Cat, Pet Shampoo - Unsafe, Harmful Ingredients to be Avoided). So is lemon bad for dogs - only if you serve it to your dog in unreasonable quantities. Does lemon provide great benefit for your dog when provided in reasonable quantities, as evidenced by my own dogs - I would have to conclude yes, lemon when used properly, is beneficial.

| Max is scared to death of lemons! I cut one in half and showed it to him a while back and he ran and hid under a chair. He's been afraid ever since!

| Max is so skittish. I was like "Max, look!" and he almost ran into a chair turning around to escape the scary lemon. I have some in the house. I'll have to record him

| Poor guy.. Peanut has some skittish behavior as well.. If you flick your finger in his face he will run for the hills, if the battery in the smoke alarm goes off he will run to the closet, get this: one went off on a movie I was watching and he ran for the hills!! He is horrified if a water bottle cracks on it's on.. The list goes on!!

| The acid in lemon is hard on tooth enamel. I would also be concerned with the effects on the stomach. When I drink water with lemon, it gives me a burning stomach.

This is because their acids, such as citric acid, are weak acid and the Lemon's overall nutrients are alkaline.
