Knowing what not to feed Golden Retrievers is important for their health and well-being. Many human food items are unsafe or unhealthy for canines and it's important to research exactly what foods you should be avoiding. Generally, avoid feeding them chocolate, citrus fruits and products, alcohol, salt, and fatty or fried foods.
