....contains Xylitol. This stuff is bad news for dogs.

Last night I found an empty Orbit box on the floor. I had just opened it earlier and left it on the
table. The new pup had jumped on a chair and gotten the package. She then ate about twelve pieces,
paper and all.

This morning I picked her up from the emergency room where she'd been 'flushed'. That was a $550
lesson.

Live and learn. I, of course, realize that most here are way too bright to ever do such a thing.

My dog ate a sandwich once.. still in the sandwich bag. Cost us 60 bucks
to have the vet give her a shot that made her puke it all back up... I
don't remember if he sedated her first or not.

I will note that in another post I talk about how my dogs don't eat
people food. I should be clear that the dog I am refering to in the
above post was given to me when she was already about 5 years old...

You could also raise your dog as I do, no human food, ever. My dogs can
lay on the floor next to a turkey sandwich and never even realize it's
something to eat, much less touch it. Just sayin'. When you train a
puppy, remember anything you train him to do (like eat people food), he
will do when he get's older....

Exactly, human food isn't good for any animal, to start with. And same
with my dog, he's never partaken in human food, so he has no idea what
it is. He'll lay right next to me at the table and never beg one bit.

Ours never purposely gets people food. This little dog is a chewer. She got one of my hearing aids.
Chewed it into pieces, but didn't swallow any of it.

Makes sense... glad you don't feed your animals people food, it's one of
my pet peeves. I can not stand it at the track or a party, house,
neighbor etc when you have to hold your food up and keep turning away
from someones begging dog... We had house guests once and their dog
wanted to reach right up on the table and stood there while you were
cooking expecting to be fed from the stove and the table... Had to put
my foot down and tell him the dog stayed next door when we were eating.

The worse is our friends with two bull mastifs, one at 190 lbs+. These
dogs will take food right from your hand while you are standing there or
reach right up on the counter and take whatever it can reach. They
thought it was cute when the dogs were little...

And now they say: "What would you like for dinner sir, and when would
you like it?"

My Daughter taught our dog well. Every time he wants a treat he hovers
over the food bos and looks at us. He sits when we give it to him. He
drops it until we walk away before picking it up and eating it. If he is
hungry he points or other wise indicates the direction of the food box
and pops his mouth a little bit.
His idea of play is getting us to chase his toys. Tell him to go get
them and he plays dumb. When we brought our Daughter's cats to care for
a while, he went searching and found one of his toys and dropped in
front of the Cats. It was fascinating seeing him try to get them to
play.
