Sweet & Sugary foods - Other than the fact that your dog may start to hate his own food when he eats sweets, sugary foods can cause dental problems, obesity and diabetes
Dough - Can expand the digestive system causing pain and possible ruptures
Table Scraps - Don’t give your dog any scrap bones as dogs can easily choke on them. They can also swallow bone splinters causing serious problems. Fat is also very unhealthy for dogs.
