Thanks for the list but i'd like to comment on one item and that is garlic.
In our training schools crushed garlic (just one clove) mixed in the dogs food is a natural way of protecting your dog against ticks and fleas so I am very surprised this item is on the "no-no list".

Poor Rolo ended up in hospital on a drip for 2 days after consuming about 1lb of raisins........
She had to have charcoal or something to absorb the toxins, plus she was made to vomit repeatedly 
The nurses said it was HORRIFIC!  but she was fine and even went sniffing back to the cupboard where she found them

Its the pips and stones in the fruit, it contains Cyanide, the fruit itself if fine and the pips and stone OK if swallowed whole, it wehn they are broken open.
Garlic is OK, if taken in minute quantaties, and many people swear by it for flea prevention, but its there to warn people about excessive amounts, also if you cook food with garlic in it and give the leftovers to your dogs, remember many foods contain garlic powder, you just have to read the label

I remember reading that cooked onions were beneficial where a dog had skin problems. It was in a book written by a breeder of St Bernards - I had one at the time. I still have the book in the house somewhere and I'll look for it. It was over 20 yrs ago.

Apt subject this, for the very first time ever Morris got up onto our table and pinched 7 year olds tea-pitta bread with lab kebab 
The only saving grace is that is was all very fresh and very home made, including the pitta bread.
So it's back to being put behind his gate when we eat

Can anyone confirm why grapes are bad for dogs? My ones breeder said fruit and veg, ie grapes, carrots, apples,etc were all really good for her.
Again is this large quantities that are bad or just the occasional one?

In answer to your question (sorry hadn't seen it before)
Although research has been carried out scientists cannot work out what causes the kidney failure in dogs and why not all dogs who consume the grapes/raisins are affected.
Until such time as this can be determined I would avoid these fruits to be on the safe side, although both my 2 have been absolutely fine.
Remember Christmas Cake, Stollen Cake and lots of other Xmas goodies contain raisins.
