People love their pets. This is a recurring theme in fiction as well as real life.
And one of the ways that people show thier love for their pet is to allow them to eat the same things they do. And in some cases, those foods are actually alright for the animal to eat.
However there are some foods that animals absolutely should not eat, even if humans ''can''.
As such, many a show has made it a point to remind people not to feed their pets certain foods, either by outright reminding them in episode, having the animal get ahold of said food, to their detriment and possible death, or as a PublicServiceAnnouncement at the end of an episode, particularly in older animated works.
Chocolate is one of the more well known examples, but hardly the only one. And some foods can be fine for some breeds of animal, but not others.
Also, in addition to foods, there are certain behaviors and acts that can be harmful for pets that people simply may not know about or be aware of, and do inadvertently out of ignorance.
Might be a type of FurryReminder if the animal in question is sapient.
A way to subvert ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare. Might be shown in a AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle segment. See also DontTryThisAtHome.

* ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'': During the segment at the end of episode 6 where it shows how to make the dog-themed chocolate from the story, Akira reminds Ichika and the viewers to not actually give sweets to animals. Since that episode didn't involve actually giving any dogs chocolate (or giving sweets to pets in general), this presumably was to make sure the children in the audience didn't think that it was okay to give dogs chocolate just because Cure Chocolat is themed after both dogs and chocolate.
* ''Anime/SpiceAndWolf'': In the second season episode, "Wolf and the Amber Melancholy", Lawrence becomes worried that Holo's sudden onset of illness is due to allowing her to eat onions. Holo gives him a reassuring laugh and says that she is not, in fact, a dog.

* Very much TruthInTelevision, there are several things that pets can get ahold of that can do them lasting or even fatal harm.
* Dogs can be harmed by, among other things, onions, grapes, raisins, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners, particularly xylitol. And of course, chocolate. In fact, grapes and raisins can be ''lethal'' for dogs, as it can result in kidney failure and death. Vets advise that a situation where a dog is suspected of eating grapes or raisins should be treated as a medical emergency and have them taken to a pet hospital ASAP.
* Contrary to popular fiction, giving your cat a saucer of milk is actually very bad for them, as most cats are lactose intolerant. Indeed, they should avoid dairy altogether. They also cannot eat chocolate, onions, citrus fruits, grapes and raisins, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners like xylitol.
