As an experienced dog breeder, Suzy Azalea has found that many dog owners are not completely well-informed when it comes to feeding their dogs. To begin with, it has always been not advisable to feed dogs solely table scraps because not only could they ruin their appetites, they also do not provide balanced nutrition. Dogs have a physical makeup that's different from that of a human's. Thus, they need specifically formulated food—created for their type and breed—that will provide them with the nutrients they need to stay healthy and strong.

However, few pet owners know that some human food are not just inappropriate for dogs, some have also been proven to be hazardous and even fatal to them. According to Suzy Azalea, owners should be made aware of this even if they do not feed their dogs table scraps, so that they can make sure that these particular food and substances are kept away from their pets’ reach.
Food to keep out of reach of dogs
Alcoholic beverages can cause intoxication in dogs, even coma and death. Avocado leaves, seeds, fruit and bark contain persin and may induce vomiting and diarrhea. Meat should also be carefully checked before given to dogs as bones from fish, poultry, and other meat sources can in fact lacerate a dog’s digestive system.
Fish in general is not advisable to be fed to dogs exclusively because of thiamine content that could lead to seizures and even death in severe cases. Chocolate, coffee, and tea also contain toxins that could affect the heart and nervous systems of dogs. Even fat trimmings can cause pancreatitis. Finally, onions and garlic should be watched out for, as their sulfoxides and disulfides can cause red blood cell damage and cause anemia.
