I just wanted to say that prunes are NOT related to raisins. Raisins are dried grapes, and the grape seed is what is toxic to dogs. Prunes are dried plums. Since plums have a large pit, before drying they remove that pit. I dont think there is any problem feeding a dog prunes. I'm not sure if you will see this, I noticed that it has been quite a while since you posted, but I thought I would tell you anyway.Replied By Liondogsden (Big Spring, Texas) on 12/30/2011
Raisins are dried grapes, grapes can ferment into wine that is why they are toxic.
Prunes are from prune plums when dried they are prunes and not related to the grape family.

I started with 2 prunes for my Beagle. I now give her one prune daily and no scooting. I have to try to figure out how to get my cat to eat them since she has a scooting problem now.Replied By Lisa (Canberra, Act) on 08/09/2015
Curious about if Cherries can substitute for prunes?
