Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Yea, I callin BS right out of the gate.

I've never seen any dog have an issue with bacon. Hell, all my vet acquaintances years ago poured leftover bacon fat onto their kibble.

It seems like cool guides is just be a bad format for most things as it lacks nuance.

And then you have the judgement of whoever makes the list - pretty much every list I see here, someone comments how wrong it is.

Several of the * are also on there just because of high sugar. Bacons likely because of fat content. Lazy infographic.

It’s more that bacon is so goddamn salty. It’s not that they can’t ingest bacon, it’s that their bodies will have to work really hard to deal with that amount of salt. It’s just horrible for them.

Although, this list is not really true. Spinach? I’m like 90% sure dogs can eat spinach. And they can eat cucumbers but not pickles?

Well, I guess that amount of vinegar is pretty dicey.

The biggest part of processed human food is the salt and sugar content. Neither of which are good for dogs. Give your dogs meat, some raw veg that isn’t a nightshade (avocados are also bad for them, their bodies can’t break down those complex fats), eggs, eggshells. These are all good. Processed and cooked foods are bad because of what we do to make it taste good to us.

And salmon being in the completely safe. Raw or undercooked salmon can be deadly due to a possible parasite or bacteria, don't recall exactly.
