I know this has been covered before, but there are major updates to foods and items around the house that can be toxic and even fatal for your dog.

   This avocado thing has me very confused. I am practically surrounded by avocado groves and I know many people whose dogs have eaten avocados for YEARS. The dogs get fat and incredibly shiny coats.

   Thanks Melody. Me too, Brandy. In fact there is a dog food called Avo Derm that is supposed to contain Avocados and is good for their coat and skin. Hm-m-m.

   I believe that the toxic part of avocadoes might be the pit. I’ll look into it further. I can imagine they get very shiny coats from eating it!

   Thanks for the list Melody!

   I just found this from the ASPCA - it is interesting.

   The ASPCA also operates the 24/7 Poison Control Service. It is staffed by 30 Vets with credentials in Toxins. If you go to the web site they will send you a refrigerator magnet with the phone number on it.
