Updated - Poisonous Foods for Pets

Posted this last about a year and a half ago, but thought it was worth reposting with updates. This list comes from the Humane Society Website (www.hsus.org), and is fairly short and sweet. For information on what to do if your pet is poisoned, see the ASPCA (www.aspca.org) website for more information.
