    It’s actually harmful for dog’s kidneys to eat peppers, onions, garlic, or mustard.

    It’s basically fatal if they eat grapes.

      Where do you see that for peppers? Google tells me bell peppers are fine for dogs but spicy peppers will upset their stomachs. The rest, sure

        I didn’t find any studies for it with a quick browse so you can feel free to dismiss my claim, but in general you shouldn’t feed carnivores any hard to digest plants.

      Potentially fatal. My dog ate a whole bunch of grapes my wife foolishly left unattended for half a minute. We took her (the dog) to the emergency vets, they gave her an emetic, that didn’t work on her, and she returned home the next day as if nothing had happened. The vets accomplished nothing but the bill was still outrageous.

      Don’t forget to mention what xylitol does to dogs.
      Small amounts of arund 2 g per 10 kg body weight are very likely lethal within a short time if not treated instantly.
      Xylitol can be in sugar free candy or chewing gum potentially making one piece of them a lethal dose for small dogs.
