Jeesh. it didn't do any damage, but I feel bad as maybe she might have lived an extra year or two??? though the Vet said she lived a couple years longer than the average dog of her breed.
Now I am soooo careful with these dogs. Only apples and carrots so far, but it's good to read they can have other fruits/veggies. So what about watermelon...is that safe for them?? I don't want to take a chance and repeat an unsafe food. Thanks.
Don't feel bad. We used to give our dog before our Yorkies grapes too. She was a Lhasa Apso. She loved grapes and tomatoes. She would pull tomatoes right off of the vine and eat them right then and there. It didn't seen to hurt her but we know better now (about the grapes that is). I haven't heard anything bad about tomatoes.
