Unfortunately, dogs don’t know the difference between a food item that will simply taste good and one that can kill them. Keeping your food storage areas inaccessible to your dog is advisable, since there are many potential dangers lurking on the shelves.

Other common items that are toxic for canines include baking soda, baking powder and other spices commonly found in kitchens.
