Bones - Bones can splinter and damage a dog's internal organs.

Have to disagree with this one 2 counts. I have a friend who lost a fit and healthy youngish chi through eating a bag of peanuts. She was a vets nurse too and it died from an overdoes of protein. I would like to add that she didn't feed the dog them intentionally - the chi knicked them all.

Although I don't feed this diet, the BARF diet requires raw bones, with the theory that raw bones don't splinter it is cooked ones which does.

Not my opinion just more facts which I have been made aware of.

Its weird...cos a lot of foods are stated as harmful to dogs..

But the majority of dog owners like to treat there dog, and give them the things there not allowed to have, and 99.99% of the time, the dogs fine

Okay, the homemade treats that Socrates gets (and now Bella).
Homemade jerky..I make my own because I don't like salt in my food and some of the flavorings and spices in store bought jerky are a bit too much. We always have several kinds of jerky around...venison, beef, buffalo, turkey...
Cooked sweet potato...plain no seasoning and cut into bite-size chunks.
rice..
green beans
peanut butter..just a lick or taste at a time
cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese..only a tiny bite while I'm cooking
pretty much all meats as in lean beef, chicken, ham, turkey, duck, goose, quail
There's probably more..I just make sure that what I give them has little or no human seasoning in it..just the meat or veggie

Hey, has anyone heard whether cooked spinach is okay for dogs...Bella seems to have a passion for it!

You can feed apples to your dog..just skin and core them first. Also you can giver your dog RAW bones only..never ever give them cooked ones.

My sisters dog Zac is 11 years old and he eats grapes and chocolate quite often - he's fine extremely fit for his age and healthy! I dont think some of these things that experts say are true i mean - its like that with humans do - basically something or another is bad for you for this reason or that!

I would never give my girl strong things like onions or spices! She cant take that but meats, bones a lil bit of chocolate a lil bit of fruit she's fine! I think everything in moderation is ok!
