Potentially Fatal Bad Foods Never to Feed Your Miniature Schnauzer

Bad Foods For Dogs.....

Many of our everyday foods that are perfectly edible to us, are considered bad for our Miniature Schnauzer , could be even fatal to them.

It's therefore extremely important to take note of these potentially toxic foods and make sure you never feed any of them to your Miniature Schnauzer.

Household foods that can hurt or kill your dog....

Feel free to print this list of bad foods to remind yourself never feed them to your Miniature Schnauzer. Perhaps post the list on your refrigerator.

Never Feed Your Miniature Schnauzer any of the bad foods listed below:
Bad Foods For Dogs

  • Chocolate
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Chives
  • Macadamia Nuts
  • Apple Cores
  • Peach and Plum Pits
  • Potato Peels or Green Potatoes
  • Mushrooms
  • Yeast Dough
  • Alcohol
  • Coffee - Tea - Caffeine
  • Green parts of Tomatoes (leaves, stems)
  • Raisins, Grapes
  • Xylitol - a sweetener used in many human foods that can cause liver failure & death


It's also very important to read food labels before assuming something is okay to give to your Miniature Schnauzer. Many of the bad foods for dogs may be part of the ingredients list of another food that otherwise would be okay to feed your Miniature Schnauzer. An example would be a sugar free yogurt that uses the sugar substitute, xylitol. Xylitol is a sweetener that could kill your dog if ingested!


Every year thousands of dogs end up at the emergency clinic after ingesting what would be for them a poisonous food or toxic plant which causes them to become fatally ill.

If your Miniature Schnauzer does ingest any of these potentially harmful foods for dogs, contact your Vet or animal emergency clinic right away.

Also, check out our dog safety holiday tips as well as the other bad foods you should avoid feeding your Schnauzer.

Plus, familiarize yourself with the common yet poisonous household plants to dogs that could pose a threat, if ingested by your Miniature Schnauzer.



dog health tip: If you must induce vomiting because your Miniature Schnauzer has ingested a poisonous plant or toxic food, here's how: mix 2 teaspoons of water and 2 teaspoons of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. This will usually cause your dog to vomit.

AND most importantly - call your Vet or animal emergency clinic!

Also important to know: If your Miniature Schnauzer has ingested a caustic substance, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. I repeat, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Caustic substances do fatal damage to your Schnauzer's main body functions within minutes. Caustic substance are things like drain cleaner, battery acid, fertilizer, glue, household cleaners, laundry detergent, turpentine, nail polish, nail polish remover, etc.....

In this case you will need to give your Schnauzer something to neutralize it. An alkaline substance is neutralized with something acidic, like vinegar. And an acidic substance would be neutralized with something alkaline, like Milk of Magnesia. (each to be given at 1 tsp per 10lbs of body weight).

Get your Miniature Schnauzer to the Vet ASAP!
