Re: [RC] Grapes-toxic? Or chocolate? - Chris Paus

Barbara, I had a German Shepard who was incorrigble
about taking food. One day I came home and found out
she had eaten all the contents of a 2 pound box of
Russel Stover chocolates. She was not sick.

Another time she got into candy bars my son was
selling for his baseball team. $`1 a bar. I had to pay
the team $19 for the bars Willa ate!

She never got sick.

I know it is dangerous and I keep it away from dogs
now, but apparently some dogs can handle it.

Willa lived to be almost 16... ancient for a GSD.

Bunny), the grandkids had missed numerous
foil-wrapped chocolate eggs.  Our Border Collie, who
is your basic glutton and will eat anything that
isn't nailed down, had sniffed out the chocolate
eggs and had scarfed them down.  I found the results
all over the garage floor.......lots of mucous and
about 12 different-colored pieces of foil.  Casey is
still alive and kicking!

  Barbara:

  In our local newspaper, there is a vet column & I
was extremely surprised to read that raisins are
deadly to dogs - like chocolate.  I can't remember
if they affect the liver or the kidneys.  I
immediately called my mother-in-law who give her big
yellow lab raisins!  Grapes are fine for dogs, but
not raisins.

    Raisins (or grapes?) deadly to dogs?  That's
odd, because our Border Collie loves grapes (and
apples and nectarines), and he isn't dead yet. 
Maybe raisins have something in them that grapes
don't?

      I,ve got a neighbor who has a few thompson
seedless grapevines hanging over the fence. The
grapes are fabulous and Lancer loves them but I'm
hesitant to let him have too many.  I know raisins
can be deadly to dogs, anyone know about horses?
