We go on the general priniciple of not letting dogs eat any plants (grass can be ok if it hasn't been sprayed with any toxins) and of course, not feeding any human food as German Shepherds in particular can have sensitive gastrointestinal tracts and can react to all different types of human foods.  

The ASPCA has a National Animal Poison Hot Line: 1-800-548-2423

Hope this helps.
