Garlic is NOT toxic to dogs unless, like many other things it is ingested in very large quantities over a short space of time. Sadi was fed garlic virtually every day of the eight years that she was with me, she lived to be 14, all of my dogs have been fed garlic with NO ill effect. If you don't believe me , don't feed it to your dog. Btw water can kill you if you drink too much of it!

There are a lot of houseplants as well, one of which i know is the leaf of the ponsetta <sp> plant. There are others, hopefully someone with a green thumb will chime in.

It's not all black and white. Blanket "toxic" lists send a lot of people into needless panic. While it is not advisable to feed your dog large quantities of alcohol. chocolate or garlic on a regular basis I know plenty of dogs that have ingested all of the above in small or moderate quantities and lived happy healthy lives.

Chocolate in particular is tricky as toxicity has to do with the strength of the chocolate. A box of baking chocolate might harm or kill a grey but a few of Hersey's milk chocolate kisses isn't likely to cause more harm than the pain the owner feels picking up poop with foil embedded in it. Avocados are on the list of toxic foods so explain Avoderm dog food.....

Only the pit is toxic in avocados. All stone fruit pits contain arsenic and should not be eaten by anyone. The fruit part is fine.

I agree with you Pam. Sailor has gotten into milk chocolate a few times and I wasn't too worried. When he got into chocolate covered raisins I was concerned about the raisins, not the chocolate. I induced vomiting and he was fine.
