Instructions
Learn which foods are most dangerous to your dog. While there are a lot of food products your dog shouldn't eat, the ones that pose the greatest risk are: chocolate, coffee, other caffeine-containing products, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, mushrooms, milk or other dairy products, raw fish or raw eggs, as wells as moldy or spoiled foods.
Educate your household family members concerning dangerous foods. If you have young children that are likely to give food from their plates to a begging dog, inform them on the importance of not giving dogs "human" foods.
Keep dangerous foods out of reach. Most kitchens have shelves and cabinets or storage areas near the floor, so make certain that these areas are not accessible by your dogs. If they are, move all dangerous food products to higher shelving areas.
Be aware of ingredients. If you do give your dog "human" food, know what's in the food. While dog foods are "liver flavored," actually giving large amounts of liver can affect muscles and bones in dogs due to high levels of Vitamin A.
Stay alert. Your dog can obtain food from many places, such as your neighbor's backyard or their kids, trash on the street or even in your home. Watch your dog to make sure he's not trying to eat forbidden foods.
Let your guests know the rules concerning your dog and feeding her foods from the table. If your dog is a "beggar," place her in a safe area while your guests are visiting.
