I can't help getting not into this discussion. For over thirty years I had property with lots of avocado trees. My shepherds always had a feast when they would fall. Some of the older boys were brighter than the youngsters and just ate the ripe ones. My only problem was weight. But the shining coats I use to get made the extra road work worth it. I never had a health issue over avocados. tony Amoroso ----- Original Message ----- From: Kmgraphic2@xxxxxxx<mailto:Kmgraphic2@xxxxxxx> To: rightdogphoto@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:rightdogphoto@xxxxxxxxx> ; Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ; pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 11:14 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: are avocados safe for dogs?
