Poisonous foods

Hi we have not been on here for a while, hope every one had a good Xmas.
 I had a book from Asda called Biscuits for your dogs as a present, but on reading the ingredients there were some that I was not happy or sure about.
 Several recipes contain Carob, Garlic and Apricots which I thought should not be given to dogs.
 Can anyone confirm whether my suspicions are correct or not.
 Thank you

I've just had a quick search of poisonous foods for dogs and there seems to be some conflicting advice about Garlic. In small amounts it is suggested as ok... Personally I wouldn't chance it at all.

Again, Apricots are suggested as ok as long as dogs only eat the fruit and no other part and in small amounts. This is another I just wouldn't chance.

Raisins etc too apparently. According to some so called experts all our dogs should be no more by now.

yeast isn't good for dogs either

From reading through the list nothing stands out to me from what I have previously read. I think many of the ingredients are fine in small quantities so putting them into a few treats will be fine.

As for garlic, it has a lot of health benefits for them, again as long as you don't go mad with it. Bane has 1 or 2 cloves a week mixed in with his food, and I add a few cloves to the liver cake I make him.

There was a post on here with the most poisonous foods to stay well away from. If I remember correctly it included:
- Raisins/Grapes
- Chocolate
- Alcohol
- Mushrooms
- Xylitol (in sweets and gum)
- Avocados (and the pits/pips of most fruits)
- Onions
- Caffeine
- Yeast Dough

If you are not sure and the recipe doesn't have much in just leave it out?

The garlic is conflicting, now take my mini Dacshund he had a garlic and Fenugreek tablet every day and lived to age of17! but I wouldnt risk it if yer not sure or without further vetinary advice

Iza used to get chicken, garlic and rice dog food and had no probs. Wouldn't give her big cloves though esp with her burps ugh.

Nita nicked half an Xmas cake off the worktop Xmas Eve and had no reaction to the raisins at all. I sometimes wonder if its certain breeds of dogs rather than the full range.

Needless to say we didnt have Xmas Cake on Xmas day

Oh Nita you pudding!

Haha Nita you cheeky monkey! She obviously thought it was just for her!
I think with most things, it is in high quantities that it causes a problem.
