I didnt know it was ok to give them fruit either until recently he was all over me when I was eating peaches.. at first I was scared to give him some. I didnt want his tummy to hurt or for him to have diahrrea.. but he loved it and he was fine. SO then I moved on to other fruits and he is loving me for it!

If I remember correctly, I believe the article that I read stated that grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs--even in small quantities.
I read it online somewhere a while ago. If you do a google search you may be able to find additional information.

Here's a website of foods that are bad for doggies..it states that grapes have an unknown toxin known to cause kidney failure..

My dogs love anything that I eat, but do not give grapes/raisins as they can be dangerous to dogs. I've never heard anything bad on the other things.

I haven't found a fruit that mine will eat. They do like their veggies, though.

True - grapes and raisins (which are grapes) aren't good for dogs.

This has been posted on many many threads in the past - and is always on lists of foods that dogs shouldn't eat. Apparently, eating a lot of these can eventually cause liver or kidney damage.

BUT - my pup has had an occasional grape (and once even ate a small bowel full) - without getting sick - I'm sure that since he is not going to get anymore - the few he has eaten will cause him no harm.
