Most people know what you can and can and can not feed your pet. And, most foods that you can not feed your dog, you also can not give to your cat. I thought that I’d give you some ideas on things to watch out for.

1. Chocolate: Without a doubt this has to be the most dangerous of food stuffs that you could give to your pet, specifically, a dog. It is dangerous to your cat as well but more so for the canine. Just because something is friendly for the two legged species does not necessarily make it so for the 4 legged kind. There are some breeds (so I hear) that do not react to chocolate but most do and what happens is constriction of the arteries and increased heart rate for small amounts and for larger amounts ingested it could and probably will kill your pet.
2. Coffee: Also dangerous. Could cause increased heart rate, diarrhea, seizures, coma and or death.
