Garbage bins contain many potentially dangerous items for dogs, including meat and chicken bones which can cause obstructions, spoiled food containing harmful bacteria like salmonella and E. coli which can cause food poisoning, and molds on expired foods producing toxins that can cause seizures. As owners, we are responsible for ensuring our garbage bins are inaccessible to dogs to prevent health issues requiring emergency veterinary care. Garbage contains many toxic items for dogs like human medications, cleaners, batteries, plants, and cigarettes that owners must keep away from their pets.
