Apples OK with no skin - they don’t digest that and can get stuck in the gut. Also no grapes - poisonous for them.

We also give a little plain white rice every day but it’s not for them - it’s for us. Act’s like a binder and makes picking up poop a lot easier!

**Although moderate amounts of the flesh of the apple is perfectly safe for your dog to eat, you must use caution when giving this treat to your dog since the covering of the seeds contains minute amounts of amygdalin, a compound that contains cyanide. There’s some evidence that suggests the stems may also contain traces of cyanide, so it’s best to remove them, too. To be harmful, the seed coating has to be broken in order to release the amygdalin, so if your dog consumes a few seeds whole, he should be fine. **

Savannah only likes the apple cores not the meat or skin. She likes grapes and only gets them if they are escapees.

She also likes banana and grapefruit segments but not orange/lime/lemon.

I know that chocolate is supposed to be bad for them, I’ve had Dogs since I can remember and given it to them or they steal it.
