Doggie No-Nos

By

Dear Readers: Some people may like to sneak their dogs a treat from the table now and then. A lot of foods are okay for an occasional treat, but here is a list of just a few foods NEVER to give your pet:

* Avocados: They contain a fatty acid, called persin, that is known to be toxic to animals.

* Cherries, plums, peaches and apricots: The leaves, stems and seeds contain a cyanidelike compound that can lead to difficulty breathing and shock.

* Chocolate: It contains two stimulants, caffeine and theobromine, and is very high in fat.

Always check with your veterinarian about what snacks to feed your dog. -- Heloise
