    Yes no raisins for dogs. I forgot why and I am too lazy to google it, but you shouldn't give them. Also no chocolate...

    This is documented on Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/raisins.asp

    But this dog ate a lot of 'em!

    Chocolate is indeed toxic to dogs, although not all dogs react as strongly. Most dogs who eat just a little chocolate don't require medical care. But some do, and a small number have died from it.

    It's also toxic to cats. But that's not a big problem since cats lack the taste receptor for sweetness--poor dears! Therefore they're very unlikely to be interested in it unless they're starving. This is apparently true across the entire Felidae family, from tigers to lynxes.

    Pretty interesting. I actually learned something. It's not like I was ever go to feed my dog a chicken bone, but I got some good takeaways in this thread. Thanks.

    Bones you say,ok what about fish bones? I have seen some dogs eat whole fish or fish pieces.

    Should fish be fed to dogs and in what fashion?

    Thanks!
