The holiday season is a time of sharing and goodwill, which is why your dog may get spoiled with extra treats this time of year. There's nothing wrong with feasting with your favorite furry pal, but it's important to know what not to feed dogs over the holidays. There are many foods that make dogs sick, and you don't want your dog throwing up during a celebration (or anytime for that matter)!

Please avoid:
Bones
Onions
Garlic
Grapes
Alcohol
Chocolate
Coffee
Nuts
Yeast dough
Fatty meats (or meat scraps)
Food cooked with nutmeg
Food with xylitol as an ingredient

Dogs are curious creatures, and the food that they see you eating seems like it should be okay for them as well. But knowing potential harmful foods to avoid will not only keep him safe, but it will also help avoid the extra holiday pounds that many of us humans have to deal with after the first of the year.
