Even for people who know this stuff it never hurts to be reminded. One more thing to caution dog owners about is alcohol. I've seen people pour a little beer for their dogs already, and while dogs may be quite fond of it their tolerance is much lower than that of people. If you really love your dog give him water to drink, and dog food to eat, if you think he needs a snack or treat get him something made for dogs. This way he'll stay healthy and happy at the same time, and it will save you a lot of money and heartache. Happy holidays to you all, and to all your canine friends
