Answers:
Blueberries are fine, in moderation. Many premium dog foods actually contain them. Grapes (and by extension raisins) are not good for dogs.
no garlic and no grapes.
but the best thing for them is regular QUALITY GRADE DOG FOOD
Blueberries should be okay. I give my dogs whole foods like eggs and carrots from time to time. Give her these things sparingly, don't use it as a meal replacement.
They are ok. Be sure you're not the one to have to get up during the pm after he's had a few.Gotta go.gotta go!

This is from a vet that I worked for. if you are interested in homecooked feeding...smile http://www.carinrennings.com/
*Please make any switch to a new food over a 3 to 4 week time period!!! GO VERY SLOWLY!!!*Dogs need good quality protein, a moderate amount of fat and select carbohydrates. Vegetables are much healthier for your dog than grains (Rice, corn, wheat). Think of the Atkins diet! Here are our recommendations:
Feed human quality food: broil or bake beef, poultry or fish. Pork can be too fatty and cause pancreatitis. No salty or sweet lunch meats. That鈥檚 junk food for your dog! Add veggies to your mixture: about 2/3 meat to 1/3 veggies, preferably fresh or frozen. If you cook the vegetables with meat, it will possess the flavor that they love. Dogs need greens: spinach, kale, broccoli and the like. Maintain a variety. Wolves, foxes and coyotes periodically nibble on grasses and they eat the stomach contents of prey animals, so this is an important component of a healthy canine diet.
You must feed a multivitamin if you are going to home cook. We recommend a very palatable multivitamin by Vetri-science. We carry it with us or you can purchase a good quality product at one of the natural pet food stores that we recommend on our referral list. Don鈥檛 just go to a generic pet store; many of the products sold there are sadly deficient and will not provide your dog with the supplements that he or she needs.
Flax Seed Oil provides essentials oils. Very small breed: 1/2 tsp/day, med. breed: 1 tsp, very large breeds: 1 tbsp. Keep refrigerated and introduce slowly to avoid diarrhea. Some pets like garlic and a small amount of salt. Play with spices to find what your pet prefers. Like us, they relish variety!
You can make large quantities and freeze this concoction. Partition it into meal size baggies for convenience.
If you aren鈥檛 willing to home cook, canned food tends to be a healthier choice overall than dry food. They usually contain fewer grain products. I know that鈥檚 the very opposite statement that you鈥檝e heard from most veterinarians in the past, but research conducted in the field of nutrition has changed my viewpoint considerably. Most dry food is bound together by grains.
Blueberries should be okay, but just try not to feed her too much of it or any other food type. Grape and chocolate should DEFINITELY not be eaten by dogs, because they are like poison to them.
Blueberries would be fine for your dog - just not too many or she'll get diarrhea. You also shouldn't give a dog corn or bacon which they don't digest well, nothing spicy or salty and nothing with sugar. A lot of dogs like raw vegetables - carrots, green beans, or maybe brussel sprouts, squash (a fav with one of my dogs).
Baby boo hasn't done her homework. Dogs can have garlic, but in a very very small amount. It is used as a natural flea guard. I would ask your vet the actual amount since I have never had a small dog. Since fruits and veggies are not part of a normal diet for dogs, it is best to grind up anything like that to make it easier to digest. I make up my own dog food and I put in carrots or a very small amount of broccoli, but I've never fed fruits as part of his diet. I have given him a small piece of banana as a treat, but I don't make it a habit. I'm going with dog food and treats that have only natural products and no added ingredients.
Dogs are carnivores...so fruit is probably not that high up on the "good for" list.
don't give her people food..period...she's a dog
