Iron supplements
Vitamins containing iron can be toxic for dogs, particularly prenatal supplements, which tend to have higher amounts than standard vitamins. According to Petplace.com, this is because dogs don’t have a way of excreting excessive iron so it can build up in the body.
In addition to vitamins, cases of iron toxicity can also come from dogs eating oxygen absorbers (those small silica packets found in things like beef jerky).

Long ago, I had a couple of French Poodles, (the toy size). My nephew is a Doctor Veterinarian, knowing how I am meticulous about food, he suggest I feed my two Poodles “home food”. Being a good cook, I used to prepare a SPECIALTY for my Poodles: in a frying pan, add 4 ounces of ground meat and 6?? ounces of rice and a enough water. Mix all together and let it boil, then let simmer until the rice and meat are eatable. Then serve your dogs, usually once a day around 04:00 pm. Remember, (NO BUTTER, NO OIL, NO SALT, NO FAT) I have been doing it for years until they reached the time that I had to move to an Overseas Country, when I gave my dogs to a relative who followed my advice. I was told that both dogs surpassed their usual aging by several years and was so sorry to give them to up to be euthanized. He berried their bodies in his backyard and built a small monument. The two dogs were NEVER THICK. The only time they visited a Vet was when they had to cut their tails (usual for Poodles)
