No, it's too good for dogs.

Yes it is full of raisins which are lethal to dogs. I would contact your vet ASAP

Our's with the help of our son consumed two loafs of the stuff.

Rather explosive rear end next day and looked rather full (didn't stop her also polishing off some wheatabix and would have probably finished off a box of cornflakes had i not found the pair) but no lasting effects.

It’ll be fine.

You should wash it down with Kia-Ora.*

*not suitable for crows. Even if they’re pretending to be dogs

Also, pork and onion stuffing, that's ok isn't it?

Not as bad as grapes but still not great

He’ll be fine. My border terrier got into the dinner room a few Christmas ago and ate a huge lump of Xmas cake.

Make sure he has plenty of water and keep an eye on him.

I heard a thing on radio the other day. Xylitol sugar substitute is super poisonous to dogs, like mg doses fatal toxic, found in more and more foods these days.

Yep, peanut butter is one to watch for that.

Apparently one piece of chewing gum could have enough xylitol to be fatal to a small dog.

One of our cats loves peanut butter, he waits by the toaster every morning, so he can share my toast at breakfast.

That's why I hate cats, cant think of anything more unhygienic than a cat walking and sitting on your food prep sufaces.

Anyway, I am surprised so many things are poisonous to dogs. Given they are hunter/scavangers you would think that they would be able to digest almost anything without issue.

I think stuff like chocolate and grapes are exaggerated but xylitol is properly toxic.

Raisins can be lethal. Although the toxicity isn’t the same for all dogs (same with chocolate) so maybe fine maybe not. Some are able to wolf down huge amounts to no ill effect. Some aren’t.

Raisin/grape poisoning might also appear mild but result in kidney damage that becomes more serious later on. iirc.

Plenty of folk out there with dogs that have eaten large amounts and seem fine. So no idea what proportion of dogs would actually suffer a fatal dose.

We took ours to hospital for induced vomiting. He’d also vomited quite a lot at home as well so seemingly most of what went on came back out the same route.

What AA just said, it does seem exaggerated. But I couldn’t quantity it. Seems fine running around with a decomposing Seagull in his gob as well, our dog, not AA.

A dog wobbling around your dining room throwing up everywhere acted as a pretty strong indicator for me that it’s vets time. First I knew he’d eaten grapes is when they came back out.
