Food Facts That Could Save Your Dog's Life

The majority of dog owners in the US treat their dogs like members of the family. We want them to be healthy and happy, and they bring joy to the family. If a pet gets sick, it saddens the whole family. Sometimes, what we don't know can cause serious health problems for our pets, and that is the subject of this quiz.

Do you give your furry friends people food, or people treats? Not all human food is safe for dogs. If you own pets, take the quiz. If you don't own pets, pass the quiz on to friends and family that do. This is not a trivia quiz, or humorous, or something lighthearted. It is information that every pet owner will want to know.

Chewing gum can be the worst culprit, because some dogs will track it down amd help themselves. Make sure you hide the gum! Raisins also go on the absolutely poisonous list, along with potato peels and onion skins. If your furry housemate has a garbage fettish, hide the garbage can.

Quiz: Foods Dangerous For Dogs

See what your score is, then challenge a friend.

After the quiz, not only will you know what treats not to give Rover, you may also reconsider where you store certain foods, and the garbage can. Sometimes dogs are like young children - they just help themselves to things they shouldn't get into. For many pooches, the garbage can, or food sitting on the table is fair game. So, just as we keep dangerous substances out of reach with our youngsters, we need to do the same for our pets.

Take the quiz to see how up-to-date you are with foods that harm dogs in particular.

Been to the Vet's Office Lately?

If you have, you know it can be just as costly as going to the Doctor's office. My Mom's little dog got an infection. Not even a 15 minute visit to the vet was $161.00, plus they wanted to do a check up in a week, at another $61.00.

Because of the rising Vet costs, many people are looking at actual Pet Insurance. If you have pets that make a couple of trips to the vet a year, you might want to check into pet plan coverage. Just click on the picture.
