Dogs And Mince Pies.
My niece rang today in a panic as her dog had eaten a whole pack of half a dozen mince pies. Lots of follow up texts throughout the day.......
am. Dog to vets, emetic administered, dog vomits copiously.
Dog goes home with charcoal.
pm. Dog vomiting and panting again.
Dog back in vets, on saline drip. Dog staying overnight.
Now resting.
Please be careful. Hide away the chocolates and mince pies. They can be fatal.

My large black Labrador 'Ozzie' is not so much a dog as a 4 legged food disposal system!.
6 mince pies would be swallowed in a couple of gulps, a year or two back he managed deliberately to knock over the Christmas tree and eat all the sugar cane candy sticks as well as the chocolate decorations, all with not a hint of a problem.

The problem with both chocolate and grapes/raisins/currants/sultanas/grape juice is that while, by and large, there is a correlation between size of dog and amount that would be toxic, and also generally the darker the chocolate, the more dangerous; some dogs are more sensitive than others and it takes less to make them very ill indeed. Prunes are not made from grapes and are not toxic to dogs, although feeding them too many can result in epic stomach upsets.
The “anything red” thing is nonsense too. Dogs can eat raspberries strawberries, tomatoes and so on quite safely.

the chemical on chocolate is called theobromine. The other thing to be careful of as far as dogs are concerned is anything sweetened with xylitol. Its often used to sweeten sugar free chewing gum. Its particularly nasty as the dog may seem well, just a bit tired of off colour but the liver may be permanently damaged.
LOL @ Just waiting for Jenny Joan to come along now and say she only gives her dogs fruit at Xmas...Terry's chocolate orange
Very funny indeed - never ever would have given him chocolate as I knew when rearing Harvey - it was always pointed to me it was poisonous
Dog Food only and only Dog Food - if he doesn't eat it today = fresh stuff is left out for him tomorrow.

Turkey skin is toxic - any fatty food is bad but chicken skin is not as dangerous as turkey skin. XyIotoI is aIso used as a sweetener in peanut butter which some peopIe use to stuff kongs with to keep their dogs entertained. I do get cross when peopIe say their dog ate xxx and never had a probIem - they were just extremeIy Iucky. A smaII amount of chocoIate for exampIe couId kiII a medium size dog but not harm a smaII one. You just don't know tiII it happens so why take the chance.
This is interesting....
