Something I Did Not Know

That is something I didn't know! Thanks for sharing!

I did not know that until recently and I saw it on TV. I told my sister in law about it and she said she used to give her dogs grapes, said they loved them and no more of that. I did know that chocolate and I think onions were bad for them. I guess animals are the same as us, one day something is good and the next they say it is bad for us. haha

I never heard that. I knew that babies/little kids can choke on them so you have to peel and/or cut them up first.

I didn't know that either. I always knew chocolate was bad for them. My pomeranian really does not eat his dog food unless we hand feed it to him. It scares me anymore with all of the recalls also. I hate to see him starve himself so he gets table food sometimes from us. Thanks for this information though.

I did know this but not for many many years - same goes for kids. I always thought raisins were a great snak for kids: raisins come from grapes, grapes are fruit, fruit is good for you. NOT the sugar concentration is raisins is out of this world and they are sticky so stick to kids teeth - dentist say "No raisins for little ones".

Yea I didn't know until I think I saw it on the news, and I checked it on snopes. This was after our dog had already eaten some raisin bread, but she is still young and vibrant so I think we were lucky. The kids know now not to give her or the cat any raisins or grapes. Tink

I didn't know that either. But I'm beginning to learn that a lot of "people" food is pretty hazardous for doggie's health.

No I did not know this either.I do know tomato paste,onions and chocolate can be lethal though.Doctor Harry the Vet said so....lol Thanks for sharing Cheers

you are not supposed to give raisins to poultry either. I thought it was because they swell up in their system... I gave my baby boy raisins for finger food once and he had diarreah with grapes in it - because the raisins rehydrated!!! I did not know that grapes were bad for dogs though... also chocolate is deadly to them.

That is quite scary! None of my pets have ever attempted to eat raisins or grapes thank goodness! How sad for this dog and his owners. You are not the only fool who didn't know this. I just recently found out myself by doing some research on dog illnesses when Miko was alive and ill. That did pop up but I didn't really know to believe it. I knew chocolate can make a dog seriously ill, but didn't figure grapes!

I hadn't heard it either, then your topic came up and a lady at the store where I'm a guest vendor for a product also mentioned it. Until recently, I never thought about giving a dog fruit. But many dog and cat foods provide berries, esp. cranberries in them now. Take care and thanks for the topic, you probably saved some dogs.

I just recently received an email on this very topic myself. It really surprised me. from now on I will research before giving anything to my dog.

I would think that raisins and grapes would be ok for dogs. Thanks for passing that info along.

Well I knew that I had heard somewhere tha if you give a dog grapes that whenever he swallows it it can swell inside their system and kill them or something like that(not sure if thats the way it goes or not its been along time since Ihave heard that)but I have actually fed my dog raisins before and what i didn't think about and i am a little embarrassed to say this but what I didnt think about is that raisins are actually just dried up grapes that have just been laying in the sun or something...yea another blonde moment lol
