Before you share food from your plate
Pick the species and the food and the page returns one of three grades, do not feed, not recommended, or plain treat territory, with the reason and the action to take. Choosing cat adds notes on the things that hit cats hardest, such as lactose and over-palatable canned fish.
The do-not-feed list follows the same categories the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center publishes, and keeping treats under 10% of daily calories is the figure widely used in AAHA and WSAVA feeding guidance. Content is current as of October 2026.
This page does not calculate a safe amount of any do-not-feed item. Some foods, grapes among them, have no established toxic dose and individual reactions vary, so no amount-based reassurance is given. This tool is for reference only and does not replace veterinary care. Contact your veterinarian right away if you notice symptoms or suspect a problem.
Frequently asked questions
Some foods, such as grapes and raisins, have no established toxic dose, and reactions differ widely between individual animals. This tool therefore skips amounts and points you to a veterinarian.
Not being listed does not mean it is safe. Skip anything you are unsure about, and if it was already eaten, note the product and amount and ask your veterinarian.
A widely used rule is to keep treats and table food together under 10% of daily calories. Daily sharing easily unbalances the complete diet.
