Frequently asked
What human foods are toxic to dogs?
The most dangerous human foods for dogs are chocolate, grapes and raisins, onions and garlic, xylitol (sugar substitute), macadamia nuts, alcohol, coffee, and raw bread dough. Even small amounts can cause serious harm.
What should I do if my dog ate something toxic?
Call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 (a $95 consultation fee may apply) or your veterinarian immediately. Have ready: your pet's weight, what they ate, how much, and when. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a vet.
Are the foods that are safe for dogs also safe for cats?
Not always. Cats are obligate carnivores with different metabolisms. Foods like onion and garlic are toxic to both, but more so to cats. Some safe-for-dog foods like pumpkin and cooked chicken are also fine for cats, but cats should always be checked separately.
Is CanEatDB veterinary advice?
No. CanEatDB compiles general guidance from authoritative sources (ASPCA, AKC, Merck Veterinary Manual) for educational purposes. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for advice specific to your pet, especially if they have health conditions.
