| Yea I know what you mean. I was quite shocked when I read that too. My brother and grandparents always give Chip (my mom mini schnauzer) grapes. He'll be 10 in July and they've never effected him. I made sure they didn't give any to Meeko when we were visiting 2 weeks ago. Meeko is a lot smaller than Chip and I don't wanna take the chance. I've recently told them not to, so hopefully they'll listen.

| I remember when I found this out. I was so shocked. I never knew. Now I don't even like to buy grapes because I am afraid someone will accidentally drop one.

| Wow. Will I guess that makes sense now. Mickey died at 14 from kidney failure. I bet that was it. |

| I used to have to take my little shih tzu to the vet every couple of months for dehydration and vomiting. She was always a little underweight so if she didn't eat the vet and I both worried. Anyway it dawned on me one day that Cassie hadn't been sick in a very long time and I can only attribute it to not feeding her grapes anymore. She loved them! Here is a picture of her. She is nine years old now and was a puppy mill rescue. |

| I recently read that you usually do not see a problem at the time, but that the damage builds up in their bodies over time. I too had fed dogs grapes years ago, not knowing the danger

| Is this a myth... I had read somewhere a while back, way before YT was part of my life, that as long as you peeled and removed seeds from grapes it was ok for them to consume them... If I ever gave my furbabies grapes it was this way... But I no longer just in case... I Love My Furbabies Nygee,Gizmo & Gypsy!! |
