Given dogs are stupid and will eat anything (cats rule) the following foods are poisonous to them
Andrew Hunt, senior vet at Stoke PDSA Pet Hospital, said: "Traditional Christmas foods like mince pies, chocolate, onions, raisins, grapes, some nuts, sage-and-onion stuffing and Christmas cake or pudding can all be harmful and should be kept safely out of paws' reach."
Laura Playforth, professional standards director at Vets Now, said: "We see a big rise in poisoning cases involving raisins and alcohol at this time of year, largely due to dogs eating things like mince pies, Christmas puddings and fruitcake.
"The good news is the prognosis for grape and raisin toxicity is generally good if treated early and there's been no kidney damage.
"Normally symptoms start showing between six and 24 hours after the dog has eaten grapes or raisins.
"But these may not take effect for several days and in the most serious cases, the fruits can also cause sudden kidney failure."
Here are some other foods that are potentially extremely dangerous for dogs:
Onions
Garlic
Chives
Chocolate
Macadamia nuts
Avocado
Artificial sweetener xylitol
Alcohol
Cooked bones
Grapes and raisins
