A great post!
My Hobson stole a whole large punnet of mushrooms off the kitchen cupboard when he was about 4 months, ate the lot he did and proceeded to vomit almost immediately in his bed. What do they contain that is harmful? Is it possible to cut up onion without dropping little bits.......my floor cleaner is in there before i can pick it up!

I was shocked to see garlic on the list as most people in South Africa include garlic not only in their dog's food, but also our horses'. Does this apply only to fresh garlic or garlic powder as well?
the mushroom thing has been a real eye-opener as I gave Comet some left over spaghetti bolognaise the other evening, it had mushrooms in. He vomited the entire evening and I had no clue as to why. Now I know, NO mushrooms!

The first christmas I had Carly - 2006 - I had brought a big brown sack of pototatoes - left them in the kitchen (doh!) - left Carly in kitchen with said sack went out to get other xmas goodies - came back 1 hour later to find the 'sack' ripped up and potatoes all over the kitchen - had heard that they werent good for dogs - so immediately rang the Vet - 1st question how many had she eaten - No Idea - so they said keep an eye on her any problems bring her straight in - thankfully she was fine - i think that was the start of her chewing things but not actually eating them!
(I also give her the left overs from the sunday roast occasionly - she will eat everything, but Cabbage and green beans - she licks them 'clean' but wont eat them!!

Sometimes (most times  ) they dont come back!!
Maybe I had better rethink.

I think garlic is an odd one, I do give mine garlic in their food at times and I use it in the tuna cake I make them each week for treats.
Mine also eat apples - they're far better at finding them in the garden when they fall off the tree than I am, their noses reach further

As far as I can remember, it is the pips in apples that are the problem, but it would take alot of them to cause a problem. The actual apple is fine, so I just core mine

I am surprised about the garlic. I have added this when making liver cake. Does it mean all amounts of garlic, or excessive amounts?

Just to clear things up
Yes it pips and stones in fruit that are dangerous, they contain Cyanide, but they have to bite into the pip or stone to release the poison, if they swallow them whole they will pass through the digestive tract and come out the other end whole 
The danger with apples is if you have an orchard and your dog loves the windfalls, too much fruit as with humans can cause stomach problems, as they ferment inside the gut.
Garlic- we are talking whole cloves here, and it depends on the size of the dog. Garlic thins the blood, that's why its good for people who have suffered clots etc, but because of this, it can cause anaemia in suseptible dogs. I think you have to be sensible, a garlic capsule to ward off Fleas is going to be fine, a whole bulb in cooking of course may cause problems not withstanding the bad garlic breath
