Do’s and don’ts of human food for dogs: 1. Carrots are good for dogs. They are high in beta carotene that produces vitamin A, and it’s also good for your dog’s teeth. 2. Onions are toxic for your dog. It can lead to red cell rupture, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pains. Worse in Japanese dog breeds.
