RE: How can raisins kill dogs?

[Guest guest]

Margie: I can't believe that you have a Felix. My first cat was a she but

looked just like Felix. We could not name her anything else. She ate more

people food than pet food and loved spaghetti - the only cat in town with

garlic breath!! She also loved nacho chips. My german sheperds love fresh

fruit and veggies. They will eat it right out of my garden. They do loves

grapes, but now I will avoid them. I know that dogs are not supposed to be

able to digest onions and chocolate is toxic. Kathy

Interesting thread!

My cat Felix (and looks JUST like the cartoon Felix the Cat!) LOVES

broccoli! Just loves it. He's also partial to yogurt, which is unflavored.
