Avocado
Avocados are dangerous to many animals, not only dogs, partly due to a fungicidal toxin called persin. They are only dangerous to dogs in large quantities; however, veterinarians recommend keeping them away due to the large pits, too, which can get lodged in their throats.
The high-fat content is also dangerous because it can inflame their pancreas.
“Exactly what amount of persin is lethal isn’t known, but in large amounts, it can cause vomiting and diarrhea, myocardial damage, and its high-fat content can lead to pancreatitis,” the American Kennel Club (AKC) explains.

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)
