Fruit is fine, no idea what a "fruit corner" is so cannot comment.  If it is full of sugar, colourings, preservatives etc then not really!

Believe corners is yogurt and fruit. Had a dog that loved banana skins, would even steal them, puts my teeth on edge, not that interested in the fruit though unless it had been baked with brown sugar, cream and brandy.

Our bitch eats grapes, carrots, tomato, orange, apple, melon and lettuce. Work it out if you can. She isn't too keen on pedigree though but then I can't say I blame her! And we let her lick the remains of a fruit corner out of the carton ti comes in. Caught her in the bin the other day with an empty trifle bowl and loads of jelly and custard with a bit of cream all round her chops!

Jas will eat oranges, apples, grapes, melon, carrots, left over chicken & vegetable pie, a Sunday roast without the gravy and cabbage.  Tam will eat apples and she loves Weetabix.  They are given half an apple a day each while the pup is given half and apple and my kids fight over the remaining half.  My dogs also like Sprats covered in flour and then deep fried for about 5 minutes.  My hubby keeps asking why we have a bin?  None of  mine are particularly partial to sweet things, apart from me of course ;)  although they do like the odd dish of banana's and custard.

Their food is then adjusted in the evenings to compensate for the other foods they have eaten.  Their coats are lovely and shiny and their teeth are lovely.

Raisins and grapes have proved toxic to some dogs.  No one actually understands why at the moment.  In general the dogs that have succumbed have ingested around 1lb or more.  For safety I always advise people not to feed them however I admit to still feeding my dog the odd grape myself.  I think some dogs may, like some people, have particular problems with some foods eg peanut allergy etc.

"a Sunday roast without the gravy and cabbage."

Is there something wrong with gravy too? 
- By Jeangenie [gb] Date 23.03.04 10:47 UTC
It depends what the gravy is made with. If it is made the traditional way from the meat juices at the bottom of the roasting tin, cornflour and water then there is no problem. If it made with gravy powder/granules etc then it can contain far too much salt.

If your dog had a problem with gluten then anything made with flour would be a problem.
- By jessthepest [gb] Date 23.03.04 16:41 UTC
Ok ta.  I have used a tiny bit of granule gravy to soften food before, so will steer away from this in future.

So many things to remember NOT to feed dogs, lol, my list is getting longer!

Joanna,

My Norman eats fruit corners but I don't allow him to have them anymore because he eats the foil and the plastic carton too.  :)
