  • Garlic and onions can be toxic to dogs in high doses and can lead to destruction of red blood cells and life-threatening anemia.
  • Salt is harmful to dogs and can lead to dehydration, kidney problems or high blood pressure.
  • Cheese is difficult for dogs to digest and can lead to flatulence, constipation or lactose intolerance.
