I read an article today that said raisins and grapes are toxic to dogs. I never knew that and thought I'd share the info.

I've said for years that vegetables would kill you. Looks like it goes for dogs too. Everyone that I know that has died has eaten vegetables. Maybe that's how my ex got mad cow disease, too. :D

Thanks for the link!! My daughters love raisins so I'll be sure to tell them not to share with our newest little girl.

She is absolutely adorable!!!!! Is she a Golden Retriever?
I've always thought...babies and puppies are the cutest things in the world..

I never heard that about grapes and raisins...good to know...

Another substance that can be dangerous is Dihydrogen Monoxide (I know we've discussed it in the forums before but we've had a lot of newcomers since then).

Here's a link to an informative site (http://www.dhmo.org/).

:D :D

You are so right there. And we know that Dihydrogen Monoxide increases the stength of vegatables even more.

If we bubble a little Hydrogen Nitride through the Dihydrogen Monoxide we'll end up with ammonium hydroxide A.K.A "WINDEX". ;) That is also bad for dogs...

Very true! Sheesh! I'd forgotten about that! :o :o

But I'm not a "dog person", so don't know what types of problems dog owners have with dihydrogen monoxide, but as a cat owner, I know it's EXTREMELY hard to keep them away from it if they find it somewhere. ;) ;)

Oh my gosh what a cute puppy!!! No raisins for her!

There are loads of things toxic to dogs and other pets. Chocolate is another biggie along with antifreeze. There are numerous plants such as lilies (cats too on this one), pointesettias, azaleas and more. Caffine, onions, garlic and more. Most things toxic to dogs are toxic to cats and sometimes more so. There are many references on the web.

When an animal becomes ill, from personal experience, I always look to exposures and intake. Remember toxins don't always need to be ingested such as chewed on or eatten like food. Heavy metals such as lead from toxic dust may be ingested by licking paws comtaminated with lead dust from renovation or refinishing projects. Also by drinking contaminated water.

Animals toxic levels are often lower levels of exposure than humans.

Pets are wonderful - keep them safe.

thank you for the information. My GSD loves watermelon, any thing about that?

A tad of on-line research - here was what I found at
Toxins, Allergies and Your Pet

Getting rid of toxins? Besides water, try getting your pet used to watermelon. Cut up the red and some of the white part, throw it in the blender along with the seeds. The melon, red, white part and seeds are good for pets and people and is a wonderful natural toxin cleanser.

Guess it sounds ok. Hope this helps.
