Hi Hackernews!

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of IsItToxicForMyDog.com, your one-stop shop to answer the question: “Is this human food toxic for my dog?”

Designed for simplicity, the site features what I believe to be the most extensive database of annotated human foods out there. Type in a food and the site will respond with a clear indicator, “SAFE” or “TOXIC”, that you can use as guidance when giving your dog human food.

Please do not take the information presented on this site as a substitute for medical advice. In an emergency, always call poison control or a veterinarian instead.

I’d love to hear feedback from the community here. Please comment below if there are any bugs, issues, or feature requests that come to mind.

Thank you all!

Sean

How did you determine the toxicity and where are you sourcing this data?

I tried the last thing I had to google before I gave it to the dog (zucchini) only to find there wasn’t an entry.

It'd be cool if you had a link to the list available as a web page instead of a web application for when the JS fails to load.

That way when search engines index it people could actually find the information too.

Any geek with 2 seconds can load up https://www.isittoxicformydog.com/static/allfoods.json and look but putting this in an actual HTML webpage would help out search and discovery lot.

Instead of a blank start page, why not display the top 10 most common things a dog shouldn't eat/chew?
