Indeed there are many foods that can be unsafe for dogs. Treated veggies and fruits for example. What i mean by treated are chemicals ( anti-disease, fast growth, pest sprays etc and then there are the vegies/fruit that are genetically altered. Veggies and fruit washed before giving to your dog may still not be completely uncontaminated. Water is the biggie. We have a thread on water and what a lot of cold tap water in even first world countries can contain to the detriment of dogs - and even purification methods do not entirely eliminate unwanted elements.
But I would say, most of us seek to give our dogs the least likely food to harm our Corgis, and as far as meat goes, that is most definitely in feeding them cooked rather that raw meat of any description.
