Well mines a small jack russel size cross dog, and i imagine that ive probably given her 2 or 3 in a day, and i may have done that a couple of times a month, she seems fine by having them...

I gave my japanese chin a prawn once and it made him ill for a few days

So what exactly in the grapes is bad??? Our vet told us to put the dogs pills into a grape and feed them to him cus he wouldnt take the pills.

For the record, most dog chocolate is made from carob. Here's the Snopes article on giving grapes to dogs, apparently they cause renal failure:

my dog cant eat grapes anyway, dont know why, he cant seem to bite through the skin. s'pose they dont have the right teeth for it.

My dog wouldn't eat a grape if her life depended on it, or any fruit for that matter.

try feeding her a bit of bananna; you'd be surprised how many dogs like those

My mother in law told us this not long ago so we have stopped feeding our dogs grapes.

Its pretty scary.

Does chocolate have the same effect on cats that it has on dogs?

yeah same effect

Our old cat was awful for chocolate... You couldn't leave any lying around, we couldn't have chocolate tree decorations as the one time we did, he ate them all off the tree, he kept breaking into our advent calendars, we bought him a 'cat advent calendar', he ate all the chocolate from that... Now our current one isn't into chocolate, luckilly, but crisps, small pieces of rubbish (ie, cardboard) and any other food you leave around (including potatoes, broccolli, biscuits, cake and pasta) he'll be off with.
