## How to use this content
- Every food guide opens with a one-line verdict (safe / caution / avoid) and the reason, followed by the mechanism, safe portions for Indian dogs in katori measures, breed-specific notes, seasonal guidance for Indian climate, and what to do in an emergency.
- Information is general and not a substitute for a veterinarian; individual dogs vary by breed, size, age and health. Always advise readers to consult a vet, and for a suspected poisoning to contact their vet or a local animal emergency helpline immediately.
