My dog loves cucumber. Should I be concerned?
Also Romaine lettuce bases, cantaloupe skins and grapes.

Do I actually have a grossly overgrown rabbit?

2. I have heard that grapes and onion are bad for dogs
but that could be wrong. My dogs have yet to turn down a veggie of any kind. They get excited over lettuce and broccoli. They do turn down mushrooms though (unless they are sauteed)!

5. Like I said, it could be wrong, but I sure heard that.
Kinda like the chocolate thing! I guess I need to research it and see.

11. Seems to be right. I thought I heard it from a reliable source, but I
just couldn't remember where. I thought it was Animal Planet or something.

9. That's all good, except the grapes.
They don't know why, but grapes are hard on dogs' kidneys.

The beagles' favorite treats are tomatoes (OMG! She LOVES tomatoes!), apples, and carrots.

16. My dog Gus used to love carrots,
I remember the great times when I would sit on the floor with Gus and have a good old carrot gnaw, chomping away in each others face.

I sure miss my FaFaGus.

20. I think sometimes dogs eat stuff just to be part of the pack. I doubt they like lettuce.
