Foods to NEVER Give to a Dog

WebMD had a really great article recently, entitled "Dangerous Foods for Dogs".

Unfortunately, it's presented in an online slide show format, which is not the ideal way to present non-visually intense information. Online slide shows may be appropriate when you need to show images of something, or different angles of it, to properly and fully communicate. But to present information in an online slide show, thinking it's "fun" or "interactive" is poor usability. (For more on this topic, see my blog post "6 Reasons Why Online Slide Shows Suck".)

I have clicked through the slide show and now present the list, in plain text format, of foods you must never give to a dog. Visit the original article for further facts.
