Many human foods are safe and nutritious for dogs. However, a person should generally feed dogs these foods in moderation, as larger quantities can lead to health issues.

Consult a veterinarian before giving human foods to dogs with:

• diabetes
• weight issues
• food sensitivities
• liver or kidney disease
• other health concerns

It is crucial to keep any foods or substances that are dangerous for dogs out of their reach.

Foods that are especially harmful to dogs include:

• anything containing alcohol
• chocolate, coffee, and caffeine
• products containing xylitol

If in doubt about a particular food, speak to a veterinarian before giving it to the dog.Paragraph

Anyone who suspects that their dog has ingested something potentially harmful should immediately call a veterinarian or an Animal Poison Control Center for advice.
