The foods that send pets to the vet are usually everyday things left within reach — a dropped grape, the chocolate in a handbag, onion gravy scraped into the bowl. A checklist on the fridge turns “I think that is fine?” into a two-second glance, and it is especially useful for kids, guests and pet-sitters who may not know the rules. Print one for home and one for wherever your pet stays.

This sheet is a quick reference, not the whole story — amounts and exceptions matter, so for any food tap through to the full guide. Start with the instant food search or browse the complete food safety library. And keep your vet’s number and a pet poison helpline saved in your phone, just in case.
