Reply #7: I do know about the raisins and grapes!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

And have spread the word! My vet had me give my dog raisins, I kid you not, but I got an ASPCA newsletter which warned about the dangers or raisins and grapes, for dogs, and made both of my vets a copy of this article!

And I sympathize about the chocolate, since I told you about the experience I had with my other dog, on the phone all night with ASPCA Poison Control. They had every kind of chocolate bar cataloged, fortunately. Both of my dogs were cocker spaniels, so couldn't easily get into things, unless they were low to the ground, but you never know when you'll run into trouble, as I did! I did know that dark chocolate was worse for dogs, and I just don't eat chocolate, at all, so just don't have it around. But my mother's friend gave her more chocolate, this year!!! What does it take?! But, at least, she didn't put it under the tree, where anyone could reach it.
