Dear Hopeful Henry,
I read your article about Halloween safety, thank you for the information on the artificial sweetener now showing up in peanut butters. I was hoping you could advise on what other food items are bad for my dog.

Thanks,
Betty

Betty, so glad you found the information from last week’s article useful and your question is a great one. To answer your question with the most accuracy I obtained this list from the ASPCA Poison Control Center.

Pet of the Week: Akaro

The Pet of the Week for November 3 is Akero, a 2-year-old who is house trained and likes to play with other dogs. He is good with children and likes to sit in laps. Akero cannot go home with cats.
