Papaya is cool. A little after a meal helps dogs who have digestive issues. But things like onions no, the sweetener xylitol is a big no! And of course anything with caffiene in it (like chocolate). I keep some capsules of activated charcoal in my first aid kit in case my dog eats something he shouldn't. Charcoal blocks the absorbion of toxins. It will buy time while you contact your vet.

Hi Smidlappm

I wanted to inquire where you can purchase the "actived charchoal" you had mention previously in the post as an emergency-kit for a dog.  I would like to get one too for my dog.

Yummy......Yes, your dog can have some Papaya....Fruits in minimal amounts are very good for them, as in for humans....Just don't overdue it, as too much can cause loose stools.....Karla
