Toxins

Many foods people eat are not safe for pets. Onions, garlic, chocolate, raw dough, xylitol and grapes/raisins are at the top of the list. Foods containing any of the above items is dangerous for your pets to consume. Do not allow your pets access to baked goods containing chocolate or raisins, soup or food made with onions or garlic.
