On the broccoli note...
Broccoli is toxic to cats and dogs and they should never have it... It is toxic in about the same about as chocolate. To add to that list, garlic, onions, raisins or grapes, or mushrooms.
Bye, Keana

I have been feeding one of my dogs food from this Canadian manufacturer for about 6 weeks now and am quite pleased with it. http://pets1st.ca/pets1st.asp
My other doggie is on a special diet because she has problem with her liver and has to be monitored quite closely. I am thinking about switching my 2 cats to the Pets 1st brand as well.

Keana, I'll look into that, I've never heard that garlic or broccoli are toxic, onions grapes and raisins yes ( apple seeds are toxic as well). Thanks, I just have to say there is a ton of good information on this thread.

It's a long list...
The list of what is generally toxic to dogs and cats is long.... Garlic is often given to dogs and cats because people think it helps keep fleas away and has other benefits. From what I have seen it does nothing for fleas but it may well have some other benefits. A healthy dog or cat does not easily get fleas. Fleas will try and host on a sick animal of possible. There are many safe ways to deal with fleas that do not involve garlic. This is why I leave it out of our food.... Broccoli is toxic to dogs and cats in the same amount as chocolate, roughly 10% of animals body weight. Give a dog or cat some broccoli, give them some chocolate, almost the same thing. One of my friends cats Momo loves broccoli...! She still feeds it to him and he is still alive. I don't advocate it but then again I don't advocate feeding overly commercialized and heavily processed dog and cat foods also.... It's a personal decision we make for ourselves and our loved ones. I guess thats all we can do. We make the best choices we can, provide a loving home, care for them when they are sick, baby them like they are our babies. Everyone here clearly loves their companion animals.
Bye, Keana
