Ask Augie

Dear Augie,
My mommy doesn’t let me eat everything that falls on the floor, but some things are ok. If she can eat it, why can’t I?
Sincerely,

Dear Vacuum,
There are certain food that are safe for humans but not for dogs. Your mom probably doesn’t mind if you eat a piece of chicken, but when she sais no to some other foods she is trying to keep you safe. Some foods she won’t want you to eat are: onions, chocolate, grapes, tomatos, and even garlic. She may also be trying to limit fattening foods and foods with high sugar content. Some dogs may be sensitive to other things as well, such as wheat. There are many foods to look out for. Ask your veterinarian to tell her about people foods to avoid.

Sincerely,
Augie
