The people that wrote this list forgot to tell my late Chesepeake that grapes, tomatoes, fruit pits and nuts were not good or toxic for her.
She picked grapes and tomatoes off of the vines and ate them. We were lucky if we got them before she did. My late husband used to give her apple cores and she would steal the peach and plum pits if you weren't watching. He also fed her peanuts and she ate them shell and all. She was 15 when I had to let her go. I don't think any of these foods hurt her. She also ate the pinecones as soon as they fell out of the pine trees. I really miss her...

I would not however, give any of these to my 8 pound poodle.
I think alot of the foods they say are toxic have alot to do with the weight of the animal and the quantity they eat. When I was a kid we had a dog that loved peanut butter cups and the chocolate didn't hurt her but she didn't get them all the time and never got alot.
