I was catching up on my blog-reading today and found a review of The Simple Vegan Dog Book over at the Vegan Soap Box. Included in the blog post  was a list of foods you should never give your dog, and, after doing a little more research, I’d thought I’d pass it on. I knew that you shouldn’t feed your dog chocolate, grapes/raisins, onions, and -DUH- alcohol, but the rest was news to me.

Dangerous Foods for Dogs

• alcohol
• avocados
• bones from fish, meat, poultry
• cat food
• chocolate
• coffee
• cold cuts
• eggs (raw)
• fish (raw)
• fried foods
• garlic
• grapes
• marijuana
• milk / dairy products
• mushrooms
• nutmeg
• nuts
• onions (often found in baby food, so no baby food either!)
• persimmons
• pits from peaches and plums
• raisins
• salt
• sugar
• tea
• tobacco
• tomatoes
• xylitol

And here, also from The Simple Vegan Dog Book and posted on The Vegan Soapbox, is a recipe you CAN serve Fido, which I have to say looks quite taste.

Snoopy’s Great Pumpkin, Rice, and Beans

• 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
• 1 cup cooked brown rice
• 1 cup cooked or canned red or black beans, rinsed and drained

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
