MADE IN THE U.S.A. Foods dogs cant eat
We all know that some people foods dogs can’t eat be harmful or potentially fatal to dogs. To get to the final say on the matter, we asked Dr. Randall to weigh in on the subject. He reveals a few in the video, along with things you CAN feed to your dog. A complete list of the foods dogs can’t eat is below. If your dog does happen to eat something from this complete list of foods dogs can’t eat the procedure is different depending on size of dog, amount consumed, and the specific food eaten. If you are concerned, we recommend you call your veterinarian to see what they say about your specific case:
Avocado
Bread Dough
Chocolate (Especially Dark and Baking Chocolate)
Caffeine (Coffee, Tea, Soda, etc)
Alcohol/Ethanol
Dairy
Grapes and Raisins
Hops
Macadamia Nuts
Moldy Foods
Onions and Garlic
Xylitol (Candy, Gum, Toothpaste)
Seeds of most fruit (Apple, Almond, Apricot, Cherry, Peaches, Plums, Persimmons, Pear, Prunes, Tomatoes & similar fruit)
Raw Eggs
Nutmeg
Corn Cobs
Bones that can splinter
What Food Should Dogs Eat?
Dr Randall specifically mentions a few “human” foods that are good choices for dogs. He mentions green beans, carrots, brown rice, salmon, and turkey. If you would like to home cook your dogs meals, he suggests:
1/3 green beans or carrots
1/3 brown rice
1/3 protein (salmon, turkey, or chicken – no bones!)
Also, a prescription type food is ideal because higher standards exist for those types of foods. Prescription type foods that you would get from your veterinarian can only have certain grades of ingredients and are better regulated to insure quality. Brands mentioned in the video include Science Diet and Purina.

I have a pit bull about 7 years old and last week his was a healthy and playful as he could be but now look like he is losing weight and I can see his ribs in his stomach. His looks sick please help
have the pit checked for cancer. AVOID any dry dog foods that include yellow #6, #7 and red dyes #5 , #40. these are known carcinogens but the dog food manufacturers still put them in the dry foods.
Is there anything he may have gotten into? Had he gone to the vet to check for parasites?
Get him to a vet immediately.
