Dogs and dinner?

[SPEEDY]

My dogs favorite snack is grapes, followed by apple cores. I just got told stop it will kill them, one grape can spell their end.
I never knew not to feed them to them but I have never had so much as a hiccup from them.
But from the time that their puppies they get a different brand of dry food every week, table scraps and off meat. I even leave goose breast and necks out till I get home and they get a bit of stink and then freeze them for my dogs, they love it.
I'm a real believer that a dog needs to eat some rotten meat and a variety of other stuff every now and then to get their stomach used to it.
I know plenty of people that's dog starts throwing up or getting the runs when it eats something different and I blame that on all that silly advice from experts and breeders that their little pooch must have this or that strict diet.
Working dogs don't get the same problems as pampered pooches on specialised diets, they don't need a vet every time the sneeze either.
Dogs are made to eat rotten meat and berries and anything else they can get their teeth on, that's what's natural for them and I will always believe it's what's best for them and I've never had a sick dog, just a few over enthusiastic ones that injured themselves

Maybe I should stop with the grapes, although scientists don't know what in grapes makes them sick, just they get crook, stop urinating, kidney failure and death. Although if the dead patches in my lawn are any sign then little to no urine is not a problem any of my dogs get and I've given them a dozen at a time.

But to some kind of a point what camp do you sit in, stick the the one brand of food and don't upset their tummies or feed them whatever is on special and all the scraps they can scoff?

My dog loves grapes too but I also read they were bad, don't know why, so I stopped feeding them to him. Never seemed to bother him.... Luckily carrots are his new favourite. About the only thing I'm convinced they should avoid is cereal grains in their food. Rice is OK but not other grains, at least, it clearly rips the hell out of 2 of my 3 dogs stomachs.

Is that solid grains?

I made my own food for them with rice, pasta, chicken carcass mince and veggies. They love it but it's messy and took too much effort and by the end of the week it started smelling like vinegar.

Onions and human chocolate is extremely dangerous for dogs. onions cook are still very dangerous for dogs as well. If eating theirs a good chance they will get onion toxicity. Dog will need a blood test to work it out. If they find little purple clumps in their red blood cells, that's a strong indication of onion toxicity. Very painful way to die.
