Wow, this thread has helped me as well. I didn't know grapes and onions were something one should not feed their dog. I never give Belle an onion because she won't accept them. But I had given her a couple grapes once and she threw up that night. And one time I dropped a grape without knowing it and she, of course, went and picked it up and was throwing up that night. So that explains it. They say not to give your dog chocolate because it's not good for them, but one time our dog got up and ate a dozen choclate cookies and four chocolate bars one night while we were out and she was just fine. So I think it's something some dogs can handle more then others. Pretty irresponsible of us but we never thought about putting stuff away because this was when we had Princess and Princess NEVER got into anything so it never crossed our mind to, but after that it certainly did.

you shouldn't feed them an excessive amount of tomatoes either.

Oh yes grapes are poisonous to dogs. Chocolate can be too, but usually in larger amounts. I think that most people think that the littlest bite of chocolate will do them harm, but that's not necessarily true.

Garlic is bad as well. So is some candy (although, I can't imagine why someone would feed their dog candy) because of a fake sugar put in it and gum.

The seeds in grapes are poisonous to dogs. As for chocolate, baking chocolate is the worst, then dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is not so bad depending on the amount of chocolate and the size of the dog.

Here is an excellent link that talks about the toxicity of chocolate and other things.

Yes, when I was a child my mom would tell me, "Don't you feed her chocolate." Whenever I would have some sort of chocolate so I figured that if I gave her the smallest amount she would get sick, but I learned later that it's the large amounts not just a drop.
