Recently got an email via my sister that breeds, shows and raises St. Bernards that a woman's dog got hold of a box of raisins and ate it and died of kidney failure (if I recall correctly, it was a Siberian Husky, so imagine what less would do to a smaller breed)!! I'm sure it has to do with amounts, but guess there is a push to find out why grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. Moderation is doubtless the key word for everything on that list, but keep an eye on your pet if you give him/her anything new -- you never know when an allergic reaction may occur. Another reason not to feed your dogs people food!!
