Ok, just had to add some more. Had a friend over yesterday (our first thanksgiving turkey, then Thursday again!) and she saw Hershey 12.8 years old and she mentioned how alert he was. Coat and eyes were clear and shiney! I was really excited to hear this as I read this about others' dogs in different forums etc. So, anyone thinking about it, it is not a fad…..it works and they all love it!
Bad Foods…
-
Well, drat. No more hashbrownies for my dogs. :p
-
On occasion we give our dogs yogurts & hot dogs for training. I also know people who give frozen yogurt & cream cheese in kongs.
I feed our dogs Merricks wet & dry….looks yummy enough for ME to eat
-
Oh for goodness sakes….talk about scaring people! Most of these things would hurt anybody if eaten in large quanities! No offense to you ChaseandZaharasmom
I certainly don't place liver, garlic and raw fish in the same level of concern as string and tobacco! Yes, you wouldn't want your dog to have a diet of any of these things in large quantites...but it isn't like most of them on occasion..and I do mean rarely, are going to cause them to fall over dead.
Drs Foster and Smith were probably sponsored by a dog food company to post that list....."don't feed your dog anything but dog food" kind of thing
P.S. I knew a cat that ate a sizeable amount of marijuana. The cat was fine...but a little weird for the rest of his life

ROFL!!! HYSTERICAL
I would be too huh?! LOL! -
No offense taken Andrea, I thought some on the list where a little over the top or weird, especially the potato thing.
When I first got Chase, my first dog this list was a good guide for me since I didn't know anything. I learned a lot about how bad the supposed "good" dog foods were by going to dog training and learning how to read the labels. The commercials make some of them look so great how could they not be wonderful, right? You need to watch out for their food ingredients like you do your own.
I just switched to Inova and I see a good improvement in Chase and Zahra's coats.
Now, if only I could figure out how to get Zahra to stop smoking at the dog park! LOL!

@Now:
Well, Niccorette gum isn't on that list, so there IS hope!!

Is this the cat?

Is this the cat?
Oh, dear…that is kind of pathetic...but REALLY funny
-
The cat is fabulous. Thanks for the list it will come in handy. I had no idea about the onion thing, which is good to know because we use onions in everything.

A couple of years ago, I discovered that Lexi was getting into a bowl of candy that I didn't think she could reach. I thought my hubby was just not throwing his wrappers away until one day I was sitting there and over walks Lexi and boom, she jumps on the table like it was no big deal (she NEVER gets on tables), reaches into the bowl, and daintily pulls out a Hershey Kiss from the thread. She then placed it on the ground and proceeded to unwrap it JUST SO. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was like she had little fingers and just took the foil right off and put it on the side!!! She never acted funny or anything and of course we removed that from her reach. She still goes NUTS if she smells chocolate in the room!!
-
I've got nothing constructive to add here, but OMG - ROFLMAO at smoking in the dog park and stoned kitties!!!
Thanks for the giggles - I really needed them today! -
This thread is turning out great! LOL! No joke on needing the laugh today and this thread is really helping get a laugh!
BDawg, I love your Hershey's Kiss story, I could almost picture Zahra doing the same thing.
Not that this is a food, well it might have been but one of my two furbabies ate the delete key off of my laptop, I found it in the kennel this morning partially chewed. Can I add computer keys to the bad food list?!
-
I'm going to get fired at work :eek: from laughing too much at my desk! No one is going to believe I'm WORKING
BBOY-ROFL Luv the kitty!!
