keep the following foods away from your dog's
reach to avoid regular visit to the veterinary.

leftover by human. These foods are not

Grapes and raisins are often used as treats for
dogs. However it is not a good idea always as
they may cause kidney failure. Dogs can become

early sign followed by becoming more lethargic
and depressed.

Sharing your ice cream cone with your dog on a
hot day may seem to be a cool idea but you
