t.j loves grapes and are they compleatly safe?
No, there is something in them that can lead to kidney disease. It's like chocolate though, you have to feed a lot at once for it to affect the dog.
Actually that isn't completely true that it's like chocolate, grapes and moreso raisins, can be toxic in different quantities depending on the dog. Some dogs can die from quite small quantities depending on the dog and if it has any underlying unknown possible problems excreting the cyanide. It is also not known if the effects are cumulative over time.
Onions, grapes/raisins, avocados, the pits of fruits (especially large ones like peach or mango pits, but even apple seeds contain small amounts of cyanide).

Yes, Grapes and raisins ARE TOXIC to dogs, even in small amounts.

Thanks for correcting me. I don't know a whole lot about why things are poisonous to dogs, I just know what not to feed and I avoid it ;)Quote:

Baby carrots are a HUGE hit at my house :D
Yeah, apples are good as long as you take out the seeds.
My girls love apples, carrots, sweet potatos, green beans, broccoli, bananas, etc. etc. They'll eat just about anything.
Yeah except Jamie and Charlie have eaten apples whole before... not like ten at once though, just like.. once a month they'd done it in the past. BUT yes, mine LOVE apples!! So do I though, so I find it hard to give them one because I love them so much myself hahaQuote:

Anita loves almost every fruit and vegetable...
From what I know, grapes,raisins and bananas are bad for dogs, and I also heard that melons and watermelons are not good. I think that oranges are also bad, but my mum won't stop giving Anita them. :rolleyes: At least she gives her very small pieces, but I'd like to know if they are bad... Anybody knows??
Anita loves tomatoes, carrots, pumpkin, APPLES (something she can go crazy for) and peaches, although we never give her because we love them too much :D
