What is poison for PETS...
Feeding pets food that we enjoy is not only wrong, it can also be fatal.
There are some foodstuffs that humans relish which cause illness and death if eaten by pets.
Chocolate, macadamia nuts and onions are good examples. Each of these foods contains chemicals which rarely cause problems for humans, but for dogs,these same chemicals can be deadly.
Chocolate toxicity
Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic.When affected by an overdose of chocolate, a dog can become excited and hyperactive.
Due to the diuretic effect, it may pass large volumes of urine and it will be unusually thirsty.Vomiting and diarrhoea are also common. The effect of theobromine on the heart is the most dangerous effect.Theobromine will either increase the dog’s heart rate or may cause the heart to beat irregularly.
Death is quite possible, especially with exercise.
After their pet has eaten a large quantity of chocolate, many pet owners assume their pet is unaffected.However, the signs of sickness may not be seen for several hours, with death following within twenty-four hours.

Went to the vet's page. He does not mention SALMON RIND. Apparently, it has some variety of (shudder!) LIVE things that sometimes makes dogs very sick. At least, it made Brown Dog sick. Her sister didn't eat any, and it was only afterward that I found out one shouldn't give salmon rind -- that part that human diners usually peel off and leave on the plate -- to dogs. On the other hand, I have seen a dog eat an entire chocolate Easter rabbit and show no ill effects -- except the chaos it caused among the children. Best wishes, MsDOGG (My Blog isn't publishing yet)
Yes you right. First thank you for our first non-spam comment. And then you right.For sure it depends on the dog.
But it's better not give them "poison" at all in order to prevent fatality.
Good luck to you!
