I’m telling ya, fruit can be dangerous at times if you’re not careful!” “Cyanide strikes again! While the actual apricot is a delicious treat, the seeds, leaves, pits and stems are toxic for me to eat. You can keep eating your avocado toast, though!” “It’s an avocado…thanks, but no thanks! I might choke on the avocado pit and it’s full of persin (a fungicidal toxin). Cyanide poisoning is not something to mess around with!” Cool drink of water, what a sweet surprise! Ah yes, I love this song! However, don’t let me get a hold of cherries in real life. Don’t let my begging convince you otherwise!” “It may be safe for you to eat my dog treats, but it’s not a good idea for me to eat your cookies! Between the sugar and chocolate, both of these ingredients are not safe for me to consume. Within a couple of hours of ingesting coffee, you’ll notice some symptoms kicking in. “Latte art is cool! But do you know what’s cooler? Not letting me have coffee or caffeine. “Garlic is good for fending off vampires, but it’s not good for my tummy!

Grapes and raisins are easy to drop on the floor, so don’t let my curiosity get the best of me. Just as it’s bad for you to swallow chewing gum, it’s even worse for me!” Howl many pieces do you wish? Psst…You can have it all. “Let’s hop to it! Er, maybe we shouldn’t since hops don’t agree with my stomach! One beer for you and one water for me, please!” Even one can be poisonous enough to cause unsettling symptoms!” “Macadamia? I thought you said we were doing the Macarena? Aw nuts! Well, don’t let us get a hold of these little guys. Make sure my food or any food you give me is mold-free and dog-approved! You wouldn’t eat moldy leftovers, so why feed them to me?” “While this might not look appetizing to you, it looks great to me (remember, I’m color blind, I can’t tell the difference). “There are mushrooms of all types! While store-bought mushrooms, such as portabellos, aren’t poisonous to me, it’s not required in my diet! But certain wild mushrooms can be extremely toxic to me and my humans! Make sure to keep an eye on me when we’re walking in the woods, just in case my nose gets a little curious.” They might be an easy treat to slip us during cookouts, but be sure to avoid feeding us this food!” “Hot doggity dog! As much as my humans like to throw some dogs on the grill (it’s just an expression – take your tail out from between your legs), hot dogs are way too fatty for us pups.

Okay, but I can eat raspberries? Guess my name will have to be Princess Raspberry…that doesn’t have the same ring to it. Plus, raw potatoes are high in carbs, which can cause a little too much weight gain (worth it if you ask me, but mom says no).

If you want to feed me something green, how about a dental-stick?!” “Look at me lounging in this leafy rhubarb! Just like tomato leaves, you’ll want to make sure I do not snack on rhubarb. Guess that means you can’t slip me any more salty french fries during dinner.” “Salt may be tasty, but too much of this mineral can cause sodium ion poisoning. Not just in tea, but other forms of caffeine too – like coffee and pop! Trust me, I don’t need the extra energy. “I might look like a regal beagle when I drink tea, but caffeine is bad for me. Some humans can’t even tolerate oxalates. “To-may-to, to-mah-to – however you say it, make sure I don’t get a hold of the leaves! The leaves have oxalates in them. ![]() ![]() “Are you nuts? Giving me walnuts is a bad idea! Walnuts can obstruct my intestines, leaving me in severe pain and you with an expensive vet bill – two things we both do not want!” We’re as sweet as sugar anyways, so we don’t need to consume it!” “Have you heard of xylitol?
