It's true that most owners don't know it but no no for dogs include grapes/raisins/chocolate/coffee/garlic/onions/macadamia nuts/cat food... looks harmless enuff but these can be deadly.

Avoid the sugary/salty stuff as well, it's not good for them.

The above are usually life threatening if your dog consume it in large quantities like the whole can of nescafe or a 1kg bar of chocolate.

It's ok to treat them with small amounts once in a blue moon... or switch to healthy alternatives like bananas or dog biscuit or ice cubes.

There is a bigger list here:-

Dogs are carnivore's period... eating fruits, vege and grass is optional what is not optional is meat

Humans are omnivores some people live fine just by eating fruits and vege but a dog cannot live without meat and just survive on fruits and vege.

Simply because they have a limitation in their ability to digest and metabolise fruits and vege.

It depends I think dogs actually like some smelly smells, even some really yucky ones

I caught my dog rolling in a dead rodent

Dirty bugger have to bathe him all over again... then there is the butt smelling, etc you get the idea.

Anyway don't feed them durians smell smell is enuff...

Feed somemore and you might find out

Tell to be careful but don't want to listen feed their pets weird weird stuff that is not part of their natural diet.... if you wan't to treat your pet dog get him a lean piece of steak or doggies biscuits
