However, the story by WKRC in Cincinnati reminds us that what we grill with is hazardous to our pets, and we should take care to keep charcoal, lighter fluid, matches and even ash away from our cats and dogs http://www.local12.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/medical-edge-pet-poison-12518.shtml
It's easy to be a bit remiss when this summer feels so good after the brutal winter we experienced, especially with a cold beer in hand. We might even be a little careless about where we've placed our cooking material once the grill is going, so it's important to keep this report in mind. I'm always reminded to check harmful materials are out of the way because my dog Trout sometimes attempts sticking his nose in the charcoal ash in the ash catch plate.
Also, keep in mind, not everything we eat, even that which is good for us, is good for our dogs. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals lists the following foods as poisonous to dogs:
Avocado
Bread dough
Chocolate
Alcohol
Grapes and raisins
Hops
Macadamia nuts
Onions
Garlic
Xylitol
