Several foods that are perfectly suitable for human consumption can be toxic to
dogs and cats. Food-associated poisoning cases involving the accidental ingestion
of chocolate and chocolate-based products, Allium spp. (onion, garlic, leek, and
chives), macadamia nuts, Vitis vinifera fruits (grapes, raisins, sultanas, and
currants), products sweetened with xylitol, alcoholic beverages, and unbaked
bread dough have been reported worldwide in the last decade. The poisoning
episodes are generally due to lack of public knowledge of the serious health
threat to dogs and cats that can be posed by these products. The present review
aims to outline the current knowledge of common food items frequently involved in
the poisoning of small animals, particularly dogs, and provides an overview of
poisoning episodes reported in the literature.
