Raisins - bad for dogs?

[lankeela]

There has just been an article on the BBC 1 television news. A 3 year old GSD has just died from
raisin toxicity in Lincolnshire. It was the owner of the dog that asked if
she could warn dog owners of this. At last it's finally got some media
publicity!!! Some newspapers will probably do a follow up.
More folks who know the better.

I did now about grapes/raisons but here is a few other foods that are poisonous to dogs are:

walnuts and macademia nuts
raw liver
Tea, coffee and cola type drinks (same poison as chocolate)
grapes raisins and sultanas
pear pips, apple pips, kernels of plums, peaches etc
turkey skin
raw fish especially salmon
some mushrooms
cat food can cause metabolic imbalances
milk and other diary products - dogs are lactose intolerant
raw eggs
potato, rhubarb and tomato leaves/stems
yeast dough
citrus oil
vitamin supplements containing iron.

sad about the GSD, wonder about the amount it had to eat?
our setter loves cheese that trainers use, loves raw eggs in his breakfast including shell and has mashed potatoe on sundays.
