Color the beagle white, brown and black and the cookies golden brown.
Sort foods into two groups: safe for dogs and dangerous for dogs.
Beagles are known as some of the greediest dogs and can learn to open cabinets in search of snacks.
The puppy eating cookies in this picture has found treasure on the kitchen floor. Beagles are famous for their noses and their appetites, and they will happily sniff out anything edible. But many foods people eat can make a dog really sick.
Chocolate is one of the most dangerous, because it contains theobromine, a substance dogs cannot process well. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is. Grapes and raisins, onions, garlic, avocado and macadamia nuts can also cause serious problems for dogs.
Another hidden danger is xylitol, a sweetener found in sugar-free gum, candy and some baked goods. Even a small amount can be very serious for a dog. That is why dogs should never get sweets, and backpacks or purses with gum should stay out of reach.
If a dog eats something dangerous, call a veterinarian or an animal poison control hotline right away, even if the dog seems fine. Prevention is best: keep food in closed cabinets, do not leave plates on low tables and stick to dog food and treats made just for dogs. A few safe snacks, like plain carrot sticks or apple slices without seeds, make healthy rewards.
