Considerations
When preparing cooked grains for your pup, take care not to add ingredients that are bad for dogs. You may love your oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins, but too much sugar is bad for your dog and raisins are potentially toxic. Foods to stay away from include excess salt, garlic, onions, grapes and macadamia nuts. Your vet can answer any additional questions regarding safe and unsafe foods. Speak to her before making any major changes to your dog's diet.
