Thank you for this thread. I did not know that saltanas and grapes could be fatel to dogs. Its not something i would feed them anyway but its good to know as my kids quite often have them. My children know not to feed Holly anything unless i say its ok but my toddler will still sometimes offer her a buscuit so i will make sure im keeping a close eye when they are eating these foods

What can you do if your dog gets stung by a bee?
It happened once and it was horrible, I'm dreading it will happen again.
Is there a doggie antihistamine you can administer yourself?

...something that might be of use before a vet reaches your pet. If you know for sure your dog or cat has been poisoned, feed the animal some raw egg-white. That will absorb part of the poison.
If your animal has been stung by a bee, first thing to do is to grab some ice and put it against the place where it has been stung.
And of course call your vet at once!

Repeating, I`m afraid...

You can use some of the non-prescription drugs "human" drugstores sell, like Tavegyl. But you still have to phone your vet, because with cats and small dogs it must be only a tiny fraction of a tablet.

thanks for the post. i am new to owning a dog (or will be in the next few weeks) so this is great info for a newbie. i guess its one of those lists you build up over time through experience. hope i don't have to go through the same.

If there is anything else dangerous in the way of foods I'd like to find out..I mean personally I don't like feeding human food to animals but I'm unsure what else is very dangerous.
I've been a dog owner all my life but my boyfriend's family have recently (a year) become a dog owner and I'm sure they feed her too much human rubbish.
Example, I was there the other weekend and she was given BBQ chicken from pizza hut.

I'm making a list of facts for them.

One of the things dangerous, in the long run, both for dogs and cats, is most of the kinds of dog/cat food advertised and sold by most of the most popular producers. Almost anything you buy anywhere except veterinary drugstores can cause serious kidney and liver disorders, because of the aromatizers and such added to make the food more appealing to animals. That`s why pets don`t really like food recommended by vets. You can`t explain to your pet it`s healthy; the only thing you can do is "starve" your animal for some time so that it stars eating healthy food. Of course, the results of eating Tasty Things are only seen after some years, not at once. But when they are seen it`s not a pleasant view... and sometimes it is too late to help...
