Onions are bad for dogs
Chocolate is very bad for dogs
Garlic is bad for dogs
Raisins are bad for dogs

I have a small dog (25pounds) and she's 4 1/2 years old. I've had her since she was 7months old. Since her first birthday she's been eating my food. When I prepare a meal, she gets her portion. I buy dry food for her but she considers it a snack when she gets hungry before going to bed at night.

At first I was afraid to let her eat what I eat because of all these warnings about the kind of food that can kill dogs. So I went to see the vet and he told me that as everything else, small amounts of anything will NOT hurt her. Since then I don't take out onions from her portions and I always give her little bits of my chocolate bar when I eat one. 

I think they are right about raisins though: Mimi will never touch it and if there are some in a muffin or something she'll leave the raisins there and eat the rest.

She is a very healthy little dog for all that. And I remember when I was young we always had dogs (big, small, medium) and cats. What did they eat? Our leftovers. All the time. No dog or cat food in those days. They all lived long and healthy.

Conclusion: I take these warning about what is good or bad for our pets with a grain of salt. Not the recalls though! These I believe!
