    Chocolate, coffee and caffeine are toxic to dogs as all of these items come from cacao seeds, which contain methylxanthines. This cause various ill effects in dogs and even death. They should be kept far away from your pets.

  2. Grapes and Raisins
    Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. It is best to avoid giving either of these fruits to your dog at all.

  3. Salt
    When ingested in large amounts, salt can cause pets to have excessive thirst and urination. This can lead to severe dehydration and even sodium ion poisoning, so it's best to limit the salty snacks you give your dog. Some common salty snacks to watch out for can include pretzels, chips, popcorn.

  4. Bread
    This common food which extends to all forms of bread, from sliced to baked, can cause bloating in your dogs stomach. Also, when eating raw dough, the ethanol produced from the yeast can cause your dog to become drunk. You do not want that so you are going to keep bread away from your dog.
