This blog post may strike you as a bit odd coming from a company that is focused on building great software designed to let you develop and deploy powerful mobile and web apps for business, but it's about a subject many of us care deeply about.
While at the office, we're heavily focused on business apps, but at home, many of us are relaxing with families that include dogs, who we consider family members.
We decided to blog about this, because we know many of our customers tell us they have dogs of their own. After reading this blog entry from Dr. Andrew Weil, we wanted to share this very helpful and practical guide explaining what foods not to give your dogs to ensure the well being of your four legged boys and girls.
Our Chief Sniff Tester, Clifton, certainly found this list interesting!
While feeding your dog human foods like cooked meats, veggies such as carrots and cucumbers, and cooked rice is acceptable, there are certain foods no dog should eat. If you have people staying with you, make sure they know about this list! Each of these can have harmful effects on a dog’s health, ranging from allergic reactions to vomiting, diarrhea or even death. Be on the safe side and restrict your dog’s access to these foods – he or she will thank you!
