    Lately my two dogs have started having a liking for fruit before I continue to give them it I want to make sure it's not going to be harmful to them. I know that grapes are a big no no and the seeds in apples and pears. Is there anything else I should know?

    Thanks in advance.

    Fruit is full of sugar... abeit natural, its still a bit much for dogs...

    have you tried veg?? my cocker loves sugar snaps peas, manguetout, peppers... etc

    the very odd time i would give him a starwberry which he adores but i would be concerned about the sugar content..

    try some crunchy veg (not onions)... im sure they will love thme too :D

    My dog came in from the back garden with red drooling from his mouth, red globuly bits down his chest and a very happy face on him. I freaked out thinking he had caught a cat and ran outside all panicked.

    The only thing "injured" was my raspberry bush, which had all of the lower berries eaten.:rolleyes: So I left him, thinking he couldn't get anymore, they're up too high. Within mins he was walking on his hind legs to get the lovely sweet ones on the top :D.

    Since then he doesn't even bother with the lower ones, just robs the good ones as soon as they appear.
