    Last year for the first time I saw the other half's dog eating plums off the tree
    Iv heard of the onion thing. not sure why you would feed them onions anyway.
    Ours get venison and bone fresh or frozen raw. They wont eat pork fresh or frozen raw but they love it cooked, Mate dropped of leftovers from a tame pig on spit and im feeding to them a bit every couple of days out of freezer.
    They get fresh or frozen raw rabbits and hares gutted/skinned head and feet cut off.
    Any left overs from tea including chicken/fish I only wont give them cooked bones that have been cut with a bandsaw and have sharp bits on em.
    They got a whole gutted frozen snapper each couple of nights back that had been in the freezer too long(whoops my bad) I cut the spines and fins off.

    If I'm feeding mine rabbits I just cut the feet off. They bite the heads off eat the guts out then eat the body. Coats look awesome but they fart a bit with the fur on them but no drama otherwise

    Human snacks - chips can contain garlic and onion powder, cookies may contain raisins, chocolate or macadamia nuts, etc. Bottom line - there's a reason there's food and treats made especially for dogs.

    Yes there is a reason or countless gazillions actually....the symbol of the most potent one is this....$


    Then you get mindless twats who write into magazines related to canines asking if a ruddy vegan diet is good for their pup...

I'm not saying go and feed your dog chocolate, it will still mess with it a bit but its not the straight out poison people make it out to be
    About 6 weeks ago my 10kg Jack Russel stole a 500g family pack of chocolate out of the pantry and mowed the lot before we found him, hasn't slowed him down one bit! He is a fat bastard though, he has been known to eat a whole possum in one evening...

    You're onto it there EBs!

    A friend of mine swears by feeding her dog oatmeal for breakfast? hasn't hurt the dog yet though and I am embarrassed to admit but she's quicker than Jet!
    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    It peeves me off that you can't get sardines (except the small expensive ones) in fish oil anymore. They have replaced it with olive oil and that sort of stuff.
    Wife used to give her dogs a can between the two a few times a month, did wonders for their coats, a real sheen.
    Of course thats probably bad for them too

    I give my dog left overs from our dinners ok I admit I always cook a bit of extra spud and veges for Jess to give with her dog roll, mum brings all of the scraps from her place and so does my step sister (pies, lasagne, spaghetti bolognaise, chop bones, left over fish and chips etc) my dog eats the lot plus she gets her 5 champ dog biscuits after putting her on the chain every morning only to get her to hit the off button on her daily early morning wake up calls don't know whats worse my feckin alarm clock or my dog.

    I'm familiar with the ratios

    The toxin is theobromine. LD50 is about 100-200 mg/kg. baking chocolate is around 400 mg theobromine per ounce, milk chocolate is about 80 mg/oz but the exact numbers depend on quality

    whilst many either feed or their dogs have eaten the foods dangerous to the dogs health one should also remember people smoke regularly. Just because it is done doesn't make it safe
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question
