What Human Foods Are Poisonous To Pets?

Chocolate: quite a bad one for dogs. Especially in concentrated form like cocoa powder. Symptoms are hyperactivity, vomitting, diarrhea. In worse cases it can cause heart failure.

Pork: is toxic to cats. They lack enzymes in their livers to digest it properly.

Rhubarb: is toxic to guinea pigs and quite a few other domestic small animals. Guinea pigs and other pet rodents, like people, should not eat potatoes with any green on them. The same is true of potato and tomato leaves and stalks (however much the animal may seem to like them!)

Onions and garlic are toxic to cats, dogs and some other livestock. Macademia nuts are dangerous to dogs, too.

If your animal has a tiny amount of one of these banned foods and still seems okay then they probably are, but best to avoid entirely if possible.
