I did buy a book on dog ownership when i got my puppy, but it does not include in there that raisins can be harmful to dogs.

Did the book contain any proper canine dietery information? What one SHOULD be feeding a dog (as opposed to a list of human consumption foods you shouldn't be giving your pet)?

If an owner feeds their dog only whatever is supposed to make up a healthy canine diet........problem/risk/dangers solved! That's all you need to know and do.

I rarely, if ever, agree with anything theoldGoat'er78 writes, but I think this was the early point he/she was trying to make, seems like a fair one to me. :T

Indeed it did, however I think most dog owners will admit to giving there dog treats, especially while in the festive spirit. While i fully appreciate the odd treat should be ok, i'm glad the point was raised that raisins (which are in a lot of xmas food) should not be given.
