Chocolate — Although tasty, chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to pets. Chocolate toxicity may cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, elevated body temperature, heart problems, or death.

Xylitol — This sugar substitute is commonly found in sugar-free candy, gum, and baked goods. In pets, xylitol causes a rapid drop in blood sugar that can lead to seizures, coma, liver failure, or death.

Raisins and grapes — Grapes and raisins contain tartaric acid, which can cause kidney failure in dogs.

Wrapped candies — Although not all candy is toxic, wrappers can still pose a threat. Dogs who swallow large amounts of foil or plastic as they gobble down a pile of candy can suffer intestinal blockages.

Be safe!
