He got to lick the seal and decided that he REALLY likes it. I know the plant and un-ripe berries are toxic(cyanide compounds) but I can't find anything about the ripe berries. All the websites just talk about the plant being toxic and humans being able to digest un-ripe berries but not dogs. I'd like to make him some elderberry treats if they aren't toxic to dogs.

I know they are tiny berries but if it's possible to remove/strain the tiny seeds somehow I'm "guessing" that would take care of the problem. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

When I fish on my buddies lake I snack on them all the time because the shore line is loaded with them......then I cuss the rest of the day because of a a tiny little seed that I can't quite get rid of. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
