Yep. Chocolate, raisins, and grapes are poisonous to dogs.
There is always a ying to the yang. Our first lab was of all things a fussy eater, all ways chewed every thing well. Any dip put on a biscuit that I gave here was sniffed and tasted before eating. So far Mr Carter our next Lab has not shown any signs of eating any thing odd. Now our staffie cross is amazing, Just inhales food. So much so that we have got a special dog bowl for her which has raised sections to slow her up. One of the dogs that my brother owned ate a ball of wool, which made for some interestingly strung together number twos.

We flew our old lab over when we emigrated from the UK back in 2006. He was an extremely fussy eater. He lived till he was 14 now sadly gone. Our new dog is a lab collie cross mad as a hatter and is also a fussy eater.
Our year old lab (Winston) is also one who will eat anything.
Current favourite item though is his bedding (doesn’t matter what we give him including a bone or chew toy to distract, he has a crack at it) and also a paid of my wellies (every morning we find them back next to him with a little bit more off the top chewed out).
We love him dearly though as he seems to be the reincarnation of a cocker spaniel we had for many years. The cocker too could eat anything - most bizarre was a case of naphthalene flakes. We found him as a puppy foaming at the mouth, thought what the hell us that but and the smell was instantly recognisable. Luckily we got him to the vet fast and charcoal etc did the trick and he lived for another 14 years.

Must be a Lab thing. Would you believe that If the do dump on a road they treat it as a round a bout until they get a bob cat to clean it up. [bigwhistle]Quote:

I use a broad blade shovel to clean up after our lab. I personally believe that they can malt and crap there own body weight each day. Which is why they have such a appetite.

A friend in Perth had an American Bull Terrier.
We bought a pig neck for it as a gift, and it tried to swallow it after about 15 minutes of chewing, and continued to do so for the next 2 hours until it finally got it down.
It died shortly after from swallowing a chop bone which it found lying on the ground at a barbeque area and it getting stuck in its throat and destroying tissue there.
