  to a certain extent fruits r ok. it aids digestion n constipation
  
  1) make sure they r bite sized or smaller. else yr pet mite choke on them if they swallow it.
  
  2) feed it in small amounts once a day thn chk its poo density. if its really soft n runny means too much. so cut down its quantity
  
  try lettuce some dogs love it. also follow steps one n two

  to me grapes r small n round. easy to swallow whole.
  
  1) yr pet mite choke on it
  
  2) w the skin on it will not b easily digested
  
  solution. break the grape in half n serve half at a time. remove seeds if present.

  Dogs can eat fruit, but they love chocolate more.

  Some foods commonly enjoyed by humans are dangerous to dogs, including chocolate , onions, grapes and raisins, some types of gum, certain sweeteners and Macadamia nuts. Now that it is thought that the only dangerous substance in chocolate is the cocoa, this means that white chocolate can be used as a rare treat.

  Read this link on Chocolate Toxicity In Dogs:
  http://www.talktothevet.com/ARTICLES/DOGS/chocolatetoxic.HTM
  
  I asked the vet about giving apple. She mentioned that should not give too much apple treat as apple is sweet and it will cause your dog/puppy to grow fat.
