Peanut Butter and Grapes – Hidden Dangers

101's Notice Board, seniors 101 promoting the products and services available for seniors on Vancouver Island.If you give your dog treats like peanut butter or grapes, make sure you watch this.

We’ve known about the toxicity of grapes for a long time, but some people still give them, or their dry cousins the raisins, to their dog. They can cause massive kidney damage. And, if you thought that organic means safe, you’d be wrong.

Peanut butter, once considered safe, is now being tainted (from the dog perspective) and can be poisonous. There is a chemical added to boost the sweet flavour called xylitol that you need to watch out for.
