Of course he likes carrots, brocolli, asparagus, grapes and the occasional pizza crust too....

Our cat Spooky eats can/dry food but thankfully not a brand subject to the recall.

Use extreme caution feeding grapes or raisins to your dog. Here is the question and the answer from the ASPCA:

I’ve heard that grapes are poisonous to dogs. Yes or no?


Yes. At the current time, we know that grapes and raisins appear to cause renal failure in dogs who’ve ingested large amounts. However, we have not determined with certainty the toxic component, or the exact mechanism that causes renal failure. It is also not clear if only certain dogs are affected, or if long-term ingestions can lead to the same effects that a large one-time ingestion can. Because there are still many unknowns regarding the toxic potential of grapes and raisins, it is advisable not to give grapes or raisins to dogs in any amount.
