If your dog is anything like mine, the minute you go into the kitchen to cook she will be under foot with her paws crossed that you drop some food on floor. It can also be hard to resist those adorable eyes staring up at you. It's very tempting to slip 'em just a tiny piece of this or a tiny piece of that. Aside from the obvious - the minute your start feeding your dog human food, he will beg and beg for more, there are several foods that are harmful to dogs and you should stay away from. Here are the most dangerous foods to avoid:
TURKEY!!!!!
A VERY small piece of well-cooked, white meat turkey is most likely fine for your pooch but you want to avoid raw meat, bones, skin, and fat. Bones can cause digestive issues while too much fat can harm the pancreas.
BREAD DOUGH
Unbaked dough can expand in the stomach of a dog and cause "bloat" which can be very serious and require surgery. In addition, raw dough can cause alcohol toxicity.
MASHED POTATOES
While potatoes alone are not harmful to dogs, the added ingredients in mashed potatoes such as milk and buttercup cause pancreatitis in dogs.
GARLIC + ONIONS
While it's unlikely you would give your dog garlic or onion in its own, they are common ingredients in many holiday meals (including mashed potatoes and turkey listed above) and are toxic to dogs.
OTHER HARMFUL FOODS FOR DOGS:
• Chocolate
• Alcohol
• Xylitol (sugar substitue)
• Sweets
• Raw/undercooked meat or poultry
• All nuts especially Macadamia nuts
• Grapes/Rasins
• Avocado
• Coffee/Caffeine

WHO IS PRIDE+GROOM?
PRIDE+GROOM was born because 4 New York City dog lovers wanted the same level of grooming products for their dogs that they themselves enjoyed. They looked (hard) but nothing was up to snuff. Or sniff. Like so many, we love our families and take pride in our homes, and we consider our pets to be integral parts of those entities. That said, we could not find an effective way to coif them that was on par with the way we tended to our children, our homes, or ourselves. These beloved pets are allowed on the furniture and in our beds, and yet even when fresh from the groomer, we knew they did not smell or feel as good as they could.
With the development of our coat-specific shampoos, conditioner and deodorizing spray, we think we found just the way to say thanks for being the best and the sweetest MVP of the house.
PRIDE+GROOM is the first dog grooming brand launched under a beauty platform, with formulas made in a clean beauty and scent lab. We know beauty is not only skin deep. We did a ton of research to create the entire line. Each product is formulated with its own unique blend of essential oils sourced from around the world.
