| So is it the skin/seed of grapes what is poison or is the whole grape? So cherries are safe if no seeds are in them? Rudy would be so happy if he could eat cherries and grapes. Yes I would peel them also. I can ba nutty like that also. I know in vegetables our dogs when I was a child ate cooked onions in things all the time and didn't get sick. Course now I won't dare to give onions or garllic. Matter of fact I remember one of our dogs back then would grab the dropped garlic when it was being peeled. He never got sick. I would never suggesst giving a onion product to a Yorkie! Our dogs would pick tomatoes off the vine and eat them. We had one that dug potatoes and carrots. Susan

| Grapes and raisins should never be given but some dogs don't react to them... You won't know what dogs will until it happens. Somebody asked about blueberries. They are fine.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I put this out her over a year ago so maybe it is time for a refresher: Foods that are Toxic Foods to a dog: Chocolate/Caffeine: Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic. After their pet has eaten a large quantity of chocolate, many pet owners assume their pet is unaffected. However, the signs of sickness may not be seen for several hours, with death following within twenty-four hours. Symptoms include Staggering, labored breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tremors, fever, heart rate increase, arrhythmia, seizures, coma, death. Cocoa powder and cooking chocolate are the most toxic forms. A 10-kilogram dog can be seriously affected if it eats a quarter of a 250gm packet of cocoa powder or half of a 250gm block of cooking chocolate. These forms of chocolate contain ten times more theobromine than milk chocolate. Thus, a chocolate mud cake could be a real health risk for a small dog. Even licking a substantial part of the chocolate icing from a cake can make a dog unwell. Semi-sweet chocolate and dark chocolate are the next most dangerous forms, with milk chocolate being the least dangerous. A dog needs to eat more than a 250gm block of milk chocolate to be affected. Obviously, the smaller the dog, the less it needs to eat. Onions/Garlic: Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger. Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, where the pet’s red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. Symptoms include Hemolytic Anemia, labored breathing, liver damage, vomiting, diarrhea, discolored urine. The poisoning occurs a few days after the pet has eaten the onion. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness. While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness. Mushrooms: Mushroom toxicity does occur in dogs and it can be fatal if certain species of mushrooms are eaten. Amanita phalloides is the most commonly reported severely toxic species of mushroom in the US but other Amanita species are toxic. Symptoms include Abdominal pain, drooling, liver damage, kidney damage, vomiting diarrhea, convulsions, coma, death Grapes/Raisins: As few as a handful of raisins or grapes can make a dog ill; however, of the 10 cases reported to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), each dog ingested between 9 ounces and 2 pounds of grapes or raisins. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and lethargy. Macadamia Nuts: Macadamia nuts are another concern, along with most other kinds of nuts. Their high phosphorus content is said to possibly lead to bladder stones. Dogs develop a tremor of the skeletal muscles, and weakness or paralysis of the hindquarters. Affected dogs are often unable to rise and are distressed, usually panting. Some affected dogs have swollen limbs and show pain when the limbs are manipulated. Baby Food: Can contain onion powder, which can be toxic to dogs. Can also result in nutritional deficiencies, if fed in large amounts. Bones from fish, poultry, or other meat sources: Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system. Cat Food: Cat food is generally too high in protein and fats. Fat Trimmings: Can cause pancreatitis. Milk and other dairy products: Some adult dogs and cats do not have sufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the lactose in milk. This can result in diarrhea. Lactose-free milk products are available for pets. Raw Eggs: Contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin). This can lead to skin and hair coat problems. Raw eggs may also contain Salmonella. Raw Fish: Can result in a thiamine (a B vitamin) deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death. More common if raw fish is fed regularly.

| Fruits n Veggies Please excuse the last post - I really don't know what I did. I think moderation is the key for our small babies. 1 or 2 grapes is plenty for them. We get seedless grapes that may make a difference. Sophia and Tuffey like grapes and play with them until they "catch" them. They like blueberries, peanut butter, bananas (1 or 2 slices), chicken noodle soup, rice, peas, carrots, almost all veggies. Including tomatoes. Our other dog is a shtzu/poodle named Martin, he is 14 yrs old. He loves onions, lettuce, tomatoes. I think he is vegetarian. When he doesn't come when called (he always comes) we know where to find him. He will be in the garden out back. He eats the squash, lettuce, beets, and tomatoes AND he can tell which ones are the ripe ones. He has tought this trick to my little Tuffey. They have eaten all the ones near the ground and now stand on their hind legs to get the good tomatoes. They are camouflaged in the plants. The poor rabbits don't stand a chance. Our neighbors jsut scratch their heads and laugh. HAGD all, Cookie

| Grapes for gizmo OK, I just gave my lil Gizmo(14mths young) a grape. Then I came to look in this site to see what fruits I can give him(DUH). I am a little nervous. Should I be? Is there something I can give him to counteract the grape. Just one grape. HelpThank you all, Melimar |
