No idea who would ever share coffee with a dog. I mean, what do they have to do all day other than sleep and look out the window?  In all seriousness, owners should never let their dogs near coffee or any form of caffeine.

What's In It:

Coffee contains a stimulant known as Methylated xanthine.

What It Can Do:

Methylated xanthine stimulates the nervous system in dogs, causing vomiting, restlessness, heart palpitations and even death.

  1. What a load of rubbish. My 4 bassets literally eat 10 of those foods fairly regularly, and they are all fine. Granted my big boy once at a 2.2 lbs block of cheese in one sitting. He farted cheese for 2 weeks. This is clickbait.

    1. You are so lucky to have 4 bassets. I used to have one, and when we picked her up from the breeder it was amazing to see this house full of bassets, as she had a few other adult bassets as well as the parents of the litter we were getting our girl from. The breeder was a really nice woman who gave my 3 year old a can of pringles, and it was hilarious to watch him walk around the place, calmly followed by a long line of bassets. None of them got any, poor things, not because of draconian food policies like those espoused by this list, but because a 3 year old who has his first very own can of Pringles is not gonna share….

  2. To save u time, the list is……
    Chocolate, Milk, Cheese, Yeast dough, Macadamia nuts, Caffeine, Bacon (fatty meats), Onion, Garlic, Avocados, Grapes, Apple cores (also plum, peach, pear, apricot cores)
    These cause anything from sickness to death!! BEWARE, please!!!

  3.
