Raisins are one such example of an ingredient that should be avoided in dog treat recipes. Both grapes and raisins have been known to cause renal failure in dogs. One or two grapes may not be cause for concern, but these products should be avoided in dog treat recipes and you should seek veterinary intervention if your dog ingests either grapes or raisins in any moderate quantity.
Onions are yet another such ingredient that should never be used in dog treat recipes. Many people often make the mistake of thinking that an onion is a great flavor for dog treats but digesting onions even in small doses can make dogs susceptible to a certain type of anemia. Smaller dogs are even more prone to this anemia after ingesting onions.
Before following any dog treat recipes, it is important to review the ingredients and ensure that each one is safe for consumption by dogs. It is important to note that seemingly harmless ingredients to you and I can be toxic and even deadly when consumed by dogs.
