.....Diana, sorry to thread jack but some places list blueberries as a no no. Is it just in large quantities or is it like human food where they change their minds every few days on what is good for us and what will kill us? lol
Blueberries? Are you maybe thinking of grapes?
Grapes are toxic to dogs, and raisins more so (of course), but blueberries?
That would surprise the heck out of me. I think wild blueberries are a naturally scavenged food for dogs and their rels.
If you know of a link, I would very much appreciate it, because I recommend frozen blueberries pretty often to folks trying to find a low-sugar low-cal training treat for a stout dog.

Connie,
I have a question for you...(thought I would ask here since the "what food?" question is already out there)
What are the thoughts on beef tongue? Since we live in a small rural community, we have our cows butchered and they give us everything out of the cow. I have about 3 tongues in the freezer and although the husband likes it, I DON'T (and do not cook it very often), so I was wondering if it can be fed to the dogs?

I can't think why not. Sounds fine to me.
I guess I would consider it a very rich meat and give it in small amounts until seeing how it was received. I sure can't think of any reasons not to.

I will dig it up Connie, I just dont know what to believe anymore. One day it is food and water on the floor next it is raise it, then back to on the floor. lol It is about as bad as Doctors telling us to eat fish then only wild then not wild because it will kill us ect..
I just found it weird because I have seen it added in dogfoods so I always wondered why companies would put it in if it really was harmful.
Let me finish up some work and I will get ya a link though! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I learned the hard way (and pretty far along in life, I'm afraid) not to believe magazines, newspapers, TV news, or TV talk shows when they present the latest greatest food science news.
There are reliable sources, and once I find one, I tend to stick with it.

I would have trouble counting the times I have recommended blueberries (frozen and not) as teeny training treats (one by one; not by the handful) for pudgy dogs who liked sweet tastes and didn't need any extra calories.
When they are in season here, my own dogs get them as a treat pretty often.
Low in sugar, high in the right kind of fiber, and loaded with antioxidants......
