She eats everything we give her, loves cucumbers. She was very, very sick and we couldn't figure out why. Lots of diarrhea (oh, joy) and then someone forwarded me an email about grapes and raisins. She's doing fine now though, thank goodness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-55968135735533026132007-07-11T08:01:00.000-04:002007-07-11T08:01:00.000-04:00This was a toughie.

Grapes and raisins are known to cause kidney failure in dogs.<BR/><BR/>Fear not, veggie-lovin' dogs! Most fruits and vegetables are perfectly safe for pooches. (As KGMom notes, most kitties turn up their snouts at anything other than meat.) Raw carrots are a great treat, many dogs love apples, and green beans are a good "filler" for dieting doggies - bulk without calories.<BR/><BR/>Avoid: Avocado, onions, and garlic (Remember these: They <I>may</I> show up as future quiz questions!)<BR/><BR/>Some vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, etc.) can cause flatulence, so if you have a gassy dog (Chet Baker, I am talking about YOU) you will probably want to stay away from those, too.<BR/><BR/>Good one!<BR/><BR/>~KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-69576178961963010592007-07-10T21:20:00.000-04:002007-07-10T21:20:00.000-04:00Toxic.Grapes and raisins in large quantities can c...Toxic.<BR/>Grapes and raisins in large quantities can cause vomiting, elevated BUN and creatinine...basically putting them in renal failure.<BR/>This is one of those "Urban Myth" things that turned out to be accurate.Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-25667253481584795592007-07-10T19:45:00.000-04:002007-07-10T19:45:00.000-04:00Well, I hope they are not all toxic--my dog loves ...Well, I hope they are not all toxic--my dog loves green beans, and raw carrots.<BR/>My cats--are you kidding?

I believe it was kidney failure. She survived with emergency treatment.<BR/><BR/>I haven't forgotten this and keep raisins away from my dogs. Even though grapes can be toxic to dogs in large amounts, too, I still treat my dogs to a grape or two once in a while.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-29098625323327230812007-07-10T09:16:00.000-04:002007-07-10T09:16:00.000-04:00I'm with Lynne on this one.
