Monster is sticking his head in a bag of sun chips making a lot of noise (we still have the loud
bags). Anyone else have a pet who likes unlikely pet food for a like French Onion Sun Chips? If so what?

1. watch out for that.
My buddy woke up the other day to find his beloved dog dead, his head stuck in the chip bag.

9. Who would ever think it. But below is a very good list of human food bad for pets.

8. It contains onion powder and garlic powder. Harmful stuff. 'Contain
sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions.

11. Moderation is the key
Most commercial snack foods are not high in nutrition, but they do have their place. Our girly cat would eat anything I had, she would also drink out of any glass I had, basically ruining the rest for me. I got so I would pour a little out onto my desk for her, so she could lap it up from there.

5. My grey plushy likes crackers
I was eating crackers and cheese the other night and he seemed to enjoy the texture. These are the little crispbread crackers rather than the Carr's or ritz type.

7. Yeah, my cats like crackers, or anything crunchy, yogurt, olives,
ice cream, milk; they just like to share whatever I am eating; they like to feel like part of the pack, and get at least a little taste, or some given to them, even if they don't eat it.
