Reminder...some foods are TOXIC to your pet

Jac · 03-26-2009, 01:25 PM

At this time of year, when we start to grow gardens and enjoy picnicing with family I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone about TOXIC foods that can KILL your dog! (or cat!)

Please take a few minutes to read this:

Great reminder Jac!!! Thanks for the post!!!

Thanks, Jac, I was just wondering about raisins the other day. I assumed they were toxic since grapes are, but I hadn't checked into it. No oatmeal raisin cookies for Linus!

(Yet he can eat all the deer/raccoon/mystery poop he wants and not get sick at all. Go figure...)

Thanks, Kathie - my little boy is growin' up. 10 months old yesterday. He and Raleigh do look a lot alike.

He is a handsome boy, Theresa! He looks like a big boy too...how big is he?
He resembles the pups from a breeder who used Chase (my Poodle) as a sire for her Chocolate Lab...they had darling pups and the boys looked like Linus.

I don't think he's as big as the photo makes him look. He's a mini - 32 pounds, and about 19" at the shoulder. Hard to measure him...he won't hold still, and tries to eat the tape measure.

Oh! I never would have guessed that he was small! He looks so stately and beautiful...he is about the size of my Moyen Poodle girl...
What a good looking boy!

I was told to expect him to be about Cocker Spaniel size, and that's about what he is, except for the longer poodly legs. I think he's quite handsome, but I could be just a bit biased...

WOW he looks so much bigger in your avitar i'd never have guessed his real size
