The article listed prohibited foods for dogs.
Chocolate. You may be surprised, but one of our most beloved foods, is a deadly poison to a dog, Even a small piece of chocolate can be deadly to your Jack because of its small size.

Theobromine affects your dog's heart and central nervous system so that he can have a heart attack, internal bleeding, or an epileptic seizure.
Onions and Garlic are toxic to dogs in large quantities because they contain the toxic substance thiosulfate. This substance, in large doses, causes anemia in the animal.
Grapes and Raisins in large quantities can lead to acute kidney failure.

However, in small amounts (up to 5% of the daily diet), it is very beneficial because broccoli is thought to increase the body's resistance to cancer,
