Number 5 talks about caffeine, like teas and coffees and number six talks about grapes and raisins.

The first is in a slideshow format and the second link is in a listed format or, if someone's feeling lazy, just read below.
Items to avoid feeding dogs and why:
Alcoholic beverages-Can cause intoxication, coma, and death.
Avocado-The leaves, seeds, fruit, and bark contain persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Bones from fish, poultry, or other meat sources-Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system.
Cat food-Generally too high in protein and fats.
Chocolate, coffee, tea, and other caffeine-Contain caffeine, theobromine, or theophylline, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea and be toxic to the heart and nervous systems.
Citrus oil extracts=Can cause vomiting.
Fat trimmings-Can cause pancreatitis.
Fish (raw, canned or cooked)-If fed exclusively or in high amounts can result in a thiamine (a B vitamin) deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death.
Grapes, raisins and currants-Contain an unknown toxin, which can damage the kidneys. There have been no problems associated with grape seed extract.
Hops-Unknown compound causes panting, increased heart rate, elevated temperature, seizures, and death.
Human vitamin supplements containing iron-Can damage the lining of the digestive system and be toxic to the other organs including the liver and kidneys.
Macadamia nuts-Contain an unknown toxin, which can affect the digestive and nervous sy-tems and muscle.
Marijuana-Can depress the nervous system, cause vomiting, and changes in the heart rate.
Milk and other dairy products-Some adult dogs and cats may develop diarrhea if given large amounts of dairy products.
Moldy or spoiled food, garbage-Can contain multiple toxins causing vomiting and diarrhea and can also affect other organs.
Mushrooms-Can contain toxins, which may affect multiple systems in the body, cause shock, and result in death.
Onions and garlic (raw, cooked, or powder)-Contain sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions.
Persimmons Seeds-Can cause intestinal obstruction and enteritis.
Pits from peaches and plums-Can cause obstruction of the digestive tract.
Raw eggs-Contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin). This can lead to skin and hair coat problems. Raw eggs may also contain Salmonella.
Raw meat-May contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Rhubarb leaves-Contain oxalates, which can affect the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems.
Salt-If eaten in large quantities it may lead to electrolyte imbalances.
String-Can become trapped in the digestive system; called a "string foreign body."
Sugary foods-Can lead to obesity, dental problems, and possibly diabetes mellitus.
Table scraps (in large amounts)-Table scraps are not nutritionally balanced. They should never be more than 10% of the diet. Fat should be trimmed from meat; bones should not be fed.
Tobacco-Contains nicotine, which affects the digestive and nervous systems. Can result in rapid heart beat, collapse, coma, and death.
Yeast dough-Can expand and produce gas in the digestive system, causing pain and possible rupture of the stomach or intestines.
Xylitol (artificial sweetener)-Can cause very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can result in vomiting, weakness and collapse. In high doses can cause liver failure.
