dairy is a debated subjuct. it all depends on an individual's views. personally after i saw both sides of the issue debated and reading about it, as much as it pained me i vowed to never give any dog dairy stuff ever again.

almost all vegitables and fruits are good for dogs. yes, bananas are good for them. onions are another debated topic. has to do w/ them being toxic. the only scientif answer that i have found as to way they are toxic is because it thins their blood. (the same w/ garlic.)(and both have the same effects in humans and it's considered a health benifit.) another thing where it is up to the individual doggie guardian. i still give my dog garlic and onion in small amounts. (i make sure to give him 1/4 tsp. once a week to two weeks.) i personally don't suggest this is someone's dog has heart conditions or anemia.

i forget why, but raisins can be dangerous. i forget the evidence. i don't feed them as i used to, but i do limit what i feed to dogs from now on. (not that i've met too many dogs that like them anyhow.) if anyone has heard anything about rasins please post something.

sim: what kind of fruits have you tried? king likes sliced grapes, bananas, plums, apples if he's in the mood. the only one he's ever strongly turned down was starfruit. and heaven forbid if (yes i know i switched topic to veggies) you have green beans and don't share....lol

aside... i am discovering more and more garden fresh tastes! everything tastes so much better when it comes garden fresh! spinich, snow peas, green beans. if parents did it this way i think more kids would eat them. i NEVER want to go back to canned. (now only if i can create snow peas that actually grow in the snow!!!)
