Fish is bad for dogs because of parasites in it.

and why I don't eat sushi. There's also a risk of bacterial infection, salmonella being just one.

I feed raw but not raw fish. It would have to have been frozen to a low enough temperature to kill the parasites (worms & flukes).

Cooking fish properly kills the parasites.

I give my dog sardines in spring water, dried sprats, dried capelin and dehydrated herring.

You can take chicken off there's nothing wrong with chicken bones aslong as they're raw. I feed Barf and mine get alot of legs/wings/carcasses e.t.c Raw pork bones are fine for smaller dogs who don't have the power to break them but not for bigger dogs.

I know many breeders and show handlers who feed garlic puree to ward off fleas.

Other than that I agree with everything else.

My Dog had Pancreatitis and was so ill so did a complete change of diet. The Veterinary recommended Chappie and the change in my Pooch is so wonderful to see, and on another plus side, he loves it

We have put our boxer girl onto Chappie, again recommended by our vet, she loves it and the oils are great for her skin ?

* Onions and garlic
* Chocolate- Chocolate contains Theobromine, which can raise your dogs heart rate to beat abnormally. Can cause seizures that can lead to coma. Baking/dark chocolate has more of the chemical so it's more dangerous, but avoid all chocolate at all costs.
* Macadamia Nuts and Walnuts
* Pear pits, the kernels of plums, peaches and apricots, apple core pits which contain cyanogenic glycosides resulting in cyanide posioning
* Potato peels and green potatoes
* Rhubarb leaves
* Mouldy and Spoiled foods (I recently heard of a dog that died eating moldy cheese!Be very careful)
* Alcohol
* Yeast dough
* Table scraps (high fat) and sweets
* Coffee and tea (caffeine)
* Hops (used in making beer)
* Tomatoe leaves and the stems
* Broccoli (in large quantities)
* Raisins and grapes
* Chicken and pork bones (can splinter and cause harm internally)
* Rawhide Chewies (a lot of people don't know this one..these are bleached with chemicals and can be unsafe)
