I am reading "Siberian Husky smart owners guide" and came across this page and thought to share.



I know there has been mentions of what foods are bad for dogs but I didn't know if there was a thread dedicated for it. Feel free to add more foods to the list, I know apple seeds are bad, pretty much want to avoid any seeds I think.

That list is wrong, or at the very least, misleading. We HAVE had this discussion before. I'll try and dig up the thread, but to recap:

Eggs, raw: HEALTHY TO FEED-- While eggwhites contain an enzyme that suppresses biotin, egg YOLKS contain enough biotin to counteract this effect. Thus, feeding WHOLE raw egg is a perfectly healthy supplement to your pet's diet.

Meat, raw: HEALTHY-- As almost anyone here will tell you, raw meat is perfectly safe to feed your dog. Their bodies are equipped to digest and process much larger amounts of salmonella and ecoli than ours. Thus, unless it's rotting or putrid meat, human-grade raw meat or even fat trimmings are healthy and safe to feed.

I'm sure Val will be along soon to help me here.

ETA: Here's the raw egg thread: Raw Egg: To Feed or Not To Feed?

Ya not sure why meat is on there. Humans arent supose to eat raw eggs... But I do anyway lol

There was a lot of feelings about raw eggs in there lol

Help? Looks like you've got it covered.

I don't like that baby food is on the list, again it's misleading. Lots of different baby foods are safe for dogs and a number of homemade dog treat recipes include baby food. As with anything, it's important to read the label to know exactly what's in it but baby food in general I wouldn't put on a 'bad foods for dog's list.

No wonder the average Joe looks at me like I've grown a second head when I mention I'm starting my dog on a raw diet. Look at all the misleading information there is out there in actual books!

Yea, well considering all that on tv is terrible foods and people think pedigree, Iams, science diet are all great foods... Is there any actual good dog foods advertised?

LOL. That thread was fun. I don't like drama and I don't like people who don't see reason. Reason doesn't mean agreeing with me. It means recognizing the validity of another person's argument. The OP in that thread had a real issue doing that.

And as for advertising good foods.... personally, I don't think any of the high-quality foods advertise. I find that odd, but they seem to do well enough as companies without the need to advertise... so good for them!

Looks like I'm good to go with my cut up pizza bits and string cheese for them.

How did I miss that egg discussion last year????

LOL. That thread made me want to strangle someone.

I have never heard that avocados are bad for them. Mine get a sliver every now and then. I think that guide was foolishly written.

Maybe the companies who produce the high-quality food spend their money on the ingredients and production of said food instead of advertising and rely on word of mouth by their customers?

I think some foods are more theory/personal preference.

Yummmmm cookie dough....... only time you catch me eating a raw egg



and i think we do have a thread somewhere here on food to feed/not feed

I mean everyone is always like "oh you will get salmonilla!!" I'm like do you even know what it is or does...? "...no..." I had to google it, I don't even remember what happens is you get salmonilla... I haven't even heard of anyone I know ever getting it, but everyone always talks about it...

Ps- I'm into fitness and know people who drink 20 raw eggs a day for years and have never had an issue.

salmonilla, you get severe diarrhea, fever, or abdominal cramps. It takes 5-7 days to go away. It usually doesn't need treatment, the more severe cases do. almonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Cooking mostly gets rid of the bacteria. I am going to school for xray tech but have worked in the ER. I can't even tell you how many cases are from people eating raw eggs. Mostly it is kids eating cookie dough, I kid you not!

I used to be an athlete as well. Tri athlete. I rather boil my egg to be on the safe side. lol

for dogs it is fine!

I guess I have a salmonilla angel watching after me. Lol

I only drink pasturized egg whites now though
