1. Not veterinary advice

The content on this site is general educational information about foods commonly encountered by dog owners. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for a clinical examination by a licensed veterinarian. No veterinarian-client relationship is created by reading this site or by contacting us.

2. Individual variation

Dogs differ in weight, age, breed, metabolism and existing disease. A portion that is harmless for one dog can cause vomiting in another. Toxic thresholds published in the literature describe population-level risk, not a guarantee about your individual animal. Always scale portions to your dog and ask a vet when in doubt.

3. Doses and figures

Dose figures are given to help you judge urgency, not to let you rule out a problem. If you are calculating whether your dog will be fine, the correct answer is to call a professional who can weigh the animal and account for its history.

4. Completeness

This site covers 154 foods, which is a fraction of what exists. A food that is not listed is not evidence of safety. Absence of a warning is not a statement of safety.

5. Human food is not a complete diet

Nothing here is intended as a recipe for a home-prepared diet. Home cooking for dogs requires formulation by a veterinary nutritionist to avoid serious nutritional deficiencies. Treats and toppers should stay under about 10% of daily calories.

6. External sources

Where we cite veterinary or regulatory bodies, the citation is for reference. Those organisations have not reviewed or endorsed this site.

7. Advertising

This site is supported by display advertising. Advertisements are labelled and are not endorsements. We do not sell food verdicts or editorial placement.
